Description

Key figures on the population of the Netherlands.

The following information is available:

  • Population by sex;
  • Population by marital status;
  • Population by age (groups);
  • Population by origin;
  • Private households;
  • Persons in institutional households;
  • Population growth;
  • Population density.

Statistics Netherlands will reorganise the tables relating to statistics on population and households. The aim is to reduce the number of tables while striving to preserve (much) needed information. This table will be revised as soon as possible.

CBS is in transition towards a new classification of the population by origin. Greater emphasis is now placed on where a person was born, aside from where that person’s parents were born. The term ‘migration background’ is no longer used in this regard. The main categories western/non-western are being replaced by categories based on continents and a few countries that share a specific migration history with the Netherlands. The new classification is being implemented gradually in tables and publications on population by origin.

Data available from 1950 to 2022.

Status of the figures: All the figures are final.

Changes as of 26 April 2023: None, this table was discontinued.

When will new figures be published? No longer applicable. This table is succeeded by the table Population; key figures. See section 3.
