Miri is home to 27 ethnic groups; people each with their own distinct language, culture and lifestyle. Cities and larger towns are populated predominantly by Malays, Melanaus, Chinese, and Ibans and Bidayuhs who have migrated from their home-villages for work.

While consisting of many different races, it is hard to distinguish between the races of the general populace in Miri because they all look very similar with perhaps the exception of skin tone.

Sarawak is rather distinctive from the rest of Malaysia in that there is a smaller community of Indians living in the state compared to elsewhere but they are all equally welcome in the community.
