Population; key figures, 1950-2022 Population; key figures, 1950-2022

This table contains key figures on the population of the Netherlands. The table distinguishes the following data: — Population by gender; — Population by marital status; — Population by age; — Population by migration background; — Private households; — Persons in institutional households; — Population growth; — Population density. CBS is moving towards a new classification of the population by origin. From now on, it is more decisive where a person was born, besides where one’s parents were born. The word migration background is no longer used. The main classification of Western/Non-Westerns is replaced by a classification based on continents and common immigration countries. This classification is gradually introduced in tables and publications with population by origin. Data available from 1950 to 2022. Status of the figures: All the figures in the table are final. Changes as of 23 March 2023: None, this table has been discontinued. When are new figures coming out? No longer applicable. This table is followed up by the Population table; key figures. See paragraph 3.
