Albania's Population: A Success Story

A Thriving Nation with a Growing Population

With an estimated population of 276 million in 2023, Albania ranks 136th in the world by population. The population density is 101 inhabitants per square kilometer. As of Tuesday, May 21, 2024, the current population of Albania is 2826717, according to Worldometer's elaboration of the latest United Nations data.

A Rapidly Growing Population

Albania's population has been growing steadily over the past few decades. In 1990, the population was estimated to be just over 3 million. By 2000, it had grown to over 3.5 million. And by 2010, it had reached over 4 million.

This growth is due in part to Albania's high birth rate. In 2023, the birth rate was estimated to be 13.63 births per 1,000 people. This is significantly higher than the global average of 18.1 births per 1,000 people.

Albania's population is also growing due to its low death rate. In 2023, the death rate was estimated to be 7.1 deaths per 1,000 people. This is significantly lower than the global average of 7.6 deaths per 1,000 people.

The combination of a high birth rate and a low death rate is leading to a rapidly growing population in Albania. This population growth is expected to continue in the coming years.
