In 2024, the Odetian Census and Statistic Institute (OCSI) conducted a poll with the size of 10,000 people from all states where it was asked about the individual's race and foreign background. According to the poll, 78.47% of them declared themselves as white, down from the 80.16% declared in 2020. Rio Grande had the biggest drop in white percentage in the overall population (-0.92%), followed by Pawnee (0.91%), and Derrial (-0.83%).

In many parts of Rochester, Haverrane, Dalbiens, Saint Luke, and Saint Johns, the whites are not the majority, but country-wide minorities, creating majority-minority areas. In some areas, the ethnic groups that form the plurality of the region do not constitute even 30% of the overall population.

Language[]
The only official language of Odetia is English, which is recognized by the federal government. However, at the state, county, and city level, there is a possibility to establish other official and co-official/minority languages besides English, which has resulted in various languages being recognized in different regions of the country. For instance, in Derrial, Odetisch is a co-official language (spoken natively by 7.12% of the population), while in Rochester, the co-official language is Lokni language (spoken natively by 1.90% of the population). In Hennig, also in Derrial, Norwegian is recognized as an official language (spoken natively by 27.90% of the population). The country's law requires any subdivision, and the nation itself, to recognize a language as official if the number of native speakers corresponds to 20% of the population or more. On the other hand, a language must be recognized as a minority language if it has 2% to 19.99% of the total population. Approximately 8.07% of Odetia's population speaks two or more native languages and each census shows an UP in this number, although each language does not have the same growth. The states with the highest rate of multiple native languages being spoken by its population are Panuco, Pawnee, and Derrial. In the other hand, Mississippi, Mobile, and Saint Luke have the lowest rates.
| Language | Percent of population |

|---|---|---|
| English | 98.66% | 66,200,295 |
| Spanish | 3.13% | 2,100,448 |
| Odetisch | 2.14% | 1,438,131 |
| Japanese | 1.12% | 753,760 |
| Italian | 0.93% | 623,362 |

In the multicultural society of Odetia, linguistic diversity is highly valued, and the government has taken steps to ensure that minority languages are given national recognition. Spanish, Odetisch, and Lokni are the three recognized minority languages of the country, and while they are not official languages, all Odetians have the right to request any official document in these languages. This ensures that individuals who speak these languages can access crucial information and services in a language that they are comfortable with. In addition, the Odetian government requires that any official speech given by a representative of the country must include subtitles in these minority languages, even if the subtitles are not turned on by default. This not only ensures that individuals who speak these languages can follow the speeches and remain engaged in the political process but also serves to highlight the importance of linguistic diversity in Odetia
Religion[]
The Odetian constitution guarantees freedom of religion to every resident of Odetia, regardless of their status in the country. Furthermore, the constitution forbids the House of Representatives of Odetia or the Senate of Odetia from passing any law promoting religion as well as any laws establishing a state religion within Odetia and/or within its subdivisions.

Although its numbers are falling, Christianity has been the most followed religion in Odetia since the country was colonized by the Spanish and later the British. As a result of it being the state religion during the British rule, Protestantism is the most common Christian denomination and the majority of southern and northern states, followed by Roman Catholicism as a result of Mexican, Spanish, Italian, Irish, and German immigration to the country, making up the majority in central Odetial as well as Panuco. People declaring themselves as irreligious and atheist has been growing, particularly after the fall of the dictatorship in the country in 1959. According to the 2020 census, 14.40% of the population considered themselves as irreligious, compared to 9.13% in the 2010 census.
