Also, 1% of those over five years of age speak an indigenous language alongside Spanish; the main indigenous ethnic group residing in the state is the [[Mayo people|Mayo]] or "Yoreme" (Cáhita language) people. Life expectancy in the state follows the national tendency of higher rates for women than men, a difference of almost six years in the case of Sinaloa, at 74.2 and 68.3 years respectively.<ref>{{cite web |title=Esperanza de vida al nacimiento por entidad federativa según sexo, serie anual de 2010 a 2024 |url=https://www.inegi.org.mx/app/tabulados/interactivos/?pxq=Mortalidad_Mortalidad_09_82a0533d-6b8a-4af8-9b4b-db088fd7b41e&idrt=127&opc=t}}</ref>

In ethnic composition, Sinaloa has received large historic waves of immigration from Europe (mainly Spain, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Italy and Russia) and Asia (namely China, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Armenia, Lebanon, and Syria). The last two countries also make up most of the [[Arab Mexican]] community in the state. In recent years, retirees from the U.S., Canada, Australia, and South America have arrived and made Sinaloa their home.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mazatlán es un paraíso para canadienses y estadounidenses |date=23 July 2022|url=https://punto.mx/2022/07/23/mazatlan-es-un-paraiso-para-canadienses-y-estadounidenses/?amp=1}}</ref> 

There was also a sizable influx of [[Ashkenazi Jews|Ashkenazi]] and [[Sephardi Jews]] in the first decades of the twentieth century.

[[Greeks]] form a notable presence in Sinaloa, where one can find local cuisine with kalamari and a few Greek Orthodox churches along the state's coast.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Aguilar |first=Gustavo |date=2006 |title=Inmigración griega y empresa agrícola en Sinaloa (1927-1971): éxitos y fracasos |url=http://www.scielo.org.mx/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0186-03482006000100145&lng=es&tlng=es&nrm=iso |journal=Secuencia |language=es |issue=64 |pages=145–185 |doi=10.18234/secuencia.v0i64.955 |issn=0186-0348 |doi-access=free |access-date=2022-08-28 |archive-date=2022-08-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220828184836/https://www.scielo.org.mx/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0186-03482006000100145&lng=es&tlng=es&nrm=iso |url-status=live }}</ref>
