The characteristics of ethnic distribution in China are: large mixed residence, small concentrated residence and staggered residence.

Large-scale mixed residence means that all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government are inhabited by ethnic minorities, and different ethnic groups live alternately, forming a pattern of "you have me and I have you". For example, in Han areas, ethnic minorities will also live in cities, villages and mountainous areas; In ethnic minority areas, the Han nationality will also be widely distributed in various places.

Small settlement refers to the relatively concentrated population of ethnic minorities, forming many ethnic minority settlements. These settlements can be inter-provincial, cross-county or even small-scale villages. These residential areas not only have strong national and local characteristics, but also are important places to inherit minority cultures.

Staggered residence refers to the staggered distribution of different ethnic groups, forming a situation of interdependence and mutual promotion. This lifestyle has enabled different ethnic groups to communicate and integrate with each other in language, culture and religious beliefs, and promoted national unity and social stability.
