Children aged 6-11 years: €12.50 and St Julian's. 51% of all foreign na- tionals live in these localities. Santa Lucia, a southern locality where a large segment of the popu- lation lives in housing estates estab- lished in the 1950s, has the lowest percentage of foreigners. Only three foreign non-EU residents live in this working-class town. The southern towns with the highest percentage of non-EU residents are Birzebbugia and Marsaskala. Birzeb- bugia hosts 679 foreigners, who ac- count for 6% of the total population, while Marsaskala hosts 547 foreigners who account for 5% of the population. The percentage of non-EU residents in each locality is based on the num- ber of non-EU residents at the end of 2015 and the population of each town and village at the end of 2014 as published in the latest demographic review issued by the National Office of Statistics. The discrepancy of a year between the latest population figures for each locality and the statistics presented in parliament means that the percentag- es as presented in this article do not account for any changes in popula- tion between the end of 2014 and the end of 2015. Libyans account for 20% of non-EU nationals 19,317 persons hailing from coun- tries from outside the European Un- ion have a residence permit to live in Malta, of whom 4,377 benefit from international protection. In total, the 3,507 Libyans in Malta account for 18% of all non-EU resi- dents in Malta. These are followed by 1,824 Serbs (9.4%), 1,621 Filipinos (8.4%) and 1,617 Russians (8.4%). The official statistics also refer to 1,172 people hailing from Somalia and 632 people from Eritrea. Togeth- er, these last two countries account for most asylum seekers – who are in Malta seeking international protec- tion – but represent less than 10% of all non-EU nationals living in Malta. A total of 3,127 foreign residents hail from sub-Saharan Africa. These represent 16.2% of the to- tal number of non-EU residents in Malta.
