diverse population
Varied human tapestry
A diverse population contains people of varied backgrounds—different races, ethnicities, religions, or national origins.
The phrase appears frequently in discussions of demographics, education, and workplace composition: The university serves a diverse population of students from over sixty countries.
What counts as diverse depends on context; a population diverse by one measure may be homogeneous by another.
