And since my own characters have changed quite a bit since this thread was last a thing...
Human x3 (one deceased)
Elf x3 (one deceased, one not in active use)
Half-elf x3
Tiefling x3 (one deceased)
Half-orc x2
Aasimar x2
Tengu x1 (not in active use)
Nagaji x1
Ifrit x1
Oread x1
Next character will likely be a kitsune if I suddenly run into the need to make another one. (Unlikely, since I can count the amount of scenarios I can play with a character under level 6 with my fingers, not counting modules and AP sections.)

Characters in use(I have too many):
1 nagaji
1 gnomeHigher levels : 2 past seeker
1 human
1 elfbelow seeker:
1 aasimar
I have a half elf, a tengu and a human who are semi retired.aim to create:
1 human
1 half orc
Unless my math is wrong, this is only 8 PCs.
I have PFS numbers, for living PCs, up to 31 or so, now, most of them with at least 3 XP, two of them at 12th level, and one at 14th level.
Edit: Most of them are human.

I don't see any small characters there. Halfling, gnome, wayang, go get crackin'.

I think least popular in my local is the Nagaji. I know of only 2 that have one. The other guy and I started ours with boons before they were standard. I haven't seen one started since they became standard.
Most popular is human or aasimar I would guess about 1/2 to 2/3 at are local are one of those 2.

I have a Hungerseed samurai, a Dwarf stonelord(purdiest dwarf ever), two human multiclass extravaganzas, a Half-Ekujae Infiltrator, one very dead Halfling paladin, a half-Tien half-Snowcaster alchemist and a Zenj arcane archer.
Loving the various ethnicities and race mixtures. And especially north-themed characters, since they get so many support products for both flavor and mechanics. I'd be all over a Vudra book, though. Maybe one day...
Update: A protege Korvosan Vudrani Sylph pioneer of sorts(Slayer), a nebulous gm blob which I might turn into a Mbe'ke dwarf of undefined class. Goliath Druid is a good contender.

Let's see...
Half-elf Bard/Oracle
Dwarf Skald
Tengu Inquisitor/Cavalier
Tiefling(Rakshasa-Spawn) Sorcerer
Half-Orc Bloodrager(never played)
Human(Tien) Gunslinger
Aasimar(Archon-Blooded) Inquisitor
Gnome Barbarian
Honestly, I probably wouldn't have made the Tiefling or Aasimar if it weren't for the fact that it was my last chance.

I'm a proud proponent of elves.
Elf is best glass barbarian.
FCBonus to move speed is AWESOME. It makes casters hidng behind the front lines reachable. Combines nicely with Step Up and the Disruptive rage powers.
And there are worse 2handed weapons than elven curve blades.

I never understood why people say that humans are boring, when there are so many different kinds of human with completely different cultures.
Cut the list
My point exactly. I'm human but these humans can do things I can't do.
I guess the argument for humans are boring to play is that they are already one.

I'm a little surprised to see that there are more goblins in this thread than sulis.
*Shrug* - When the numbers are as low as 1 & 2 they're statistically insignificant. (Not that this is in any way a scientific study anyway. I'd guess that on the boards you have a disproportionate number of Tieflings/Aasimar because they're the most powerful, and people on the boards are more likely to powergame. Also probably a disproportionate number of ones requiring a boon.)
For me - add a Half-Elf, a Gnome, and a Dwarf to the list.

I don't think dwarves were ever the most popular, but I think they got a disservice in ability scores which made them less popular in pathfinder. Elves make good wizards, gnomes make good sorcerers, halflings make good rogues, human/halforc/halfelf make good anything, and dwarves make...? Their stat spread and racials don't really make them optimal choices for anything. So I feel like you have to really like dwarves to play one in pathfinder because ability-wise they are decentivized.

Dwarves make good:
-Monks (bonus to primary and secondary stats, penalty to a dump stat)
-Barbarians (fast movement + no encumbrance from medium armor, plus effective +3 to Will saves)
-Untouchable Bloodragers (practically invincible to spells)
-Clerics (as long as you don't care too much about channeling), or any other Wis-based spellcaster
-Gunslingers

In 3.5 they were the most powerful base race. Great for any Int or Wis spellcaster (since no base race got mental stats) and great for non-dex based combatants (since only half-orcs got strength, and they got two negative stats to go along with it). Between those two (or sometimes a combination thereof) that includes at least half the total classes.
Dwarves are solid at a lot of things - but there are a few they're best at -
Zen Archer (Wis as primary stat instead of a close second as per most monks)
Druid - especially if you're going for stone-plate
Wis based sorceror (I forget the bloodline)

I never made a Human in any gaming system until Pathfinder (and I've been playing RPGs for 20+ years).
I wanted to play exotic races. I already played as a Human IRL. I went for monstrous PCs with personalities that no human could pull off. I've played Goblins, Gargoyles, Centaurs, Grippli, Ratfolk, Half-Giants, and the basic non-Human races, obviously.
But when I purchased the Inner Sea World Guide, I suddenly wanted to play Humans. Now I have 4 in PFS:
A Shoanti whose tribal affiliation, experience with enslavement, and commitment to Gorum have made him one of my favorite characters ever.
A Zenj who really captures the nomadic life of a herdsman.
A Vudrani who celebrates the Vudran pantheon, and is the most polytheistic character I have.
And a Taldan. No race can pull off the stuffy aristocrat better than they can.
The effort that Paizo has gone thru in developing their ethnicities is top notch compared to any other RPG I've come across. If you've never been one to play a human, give these ones a try. It will expand your RP palette.
