From your own link 30% is the widest definition possible:

> As of 2024, around 17.4 million people living in Germany, or 20.9% of the population, are first-generation immigrants, while the population with a migrant background in the wider sense stood at approximately 25.2 million, accounting for 30.2% of the total population of 83.5 million

Thats a very misleading statistic

"Migrant background" is really broad indeed, it takes just one parent who wasn't born with a German parent to be considered as having a "background". Also most of them are EU migrants

who wasn't born with a German passport, sorry. So in worst case one immigrant grandparent is enough

What exactly is misleading to you?
