If you think Kosh walking round the station isn't mysterious, try and figure out how he fits through the doors.

"Just about everyone who lives here works here: the dockers, the shop owners, environmental specialists, that sort of thing. The rest are just short term visitors, businessmen..."

The population is mostly transient, Ivanova's examples of typical residents doesn't sound like it could make up an appreciable portion of a quarter million people. I think most of the aliens who live there do it for the reasons anyone migrates, to find work or escape home - it's easy to find passage there and it has open migration which seems rare in the setting. It's almost the only place to go, so it just collects everyone.

There's a bunch of Minbari in the dockers guild, maybe they prefer loading ships to being a harmonious peasant, or they want to live outside of their caste prescriptions.
