Argentina Population Clock

Argentina records about 1,392 births and 971 deaths a day. That is a natural increase of roughly 421 people per day, or about 153,770 a year before migration is counted.

Net migration runs at about 2,859 over the reported period, with more people arriving than leaving. That is equivalent to about 2% of its natural change.

If the current rate held indefinitely, Argentina would take roughly 205 years to double in size — a projection of today's rate, not a forecast.

Over the 9 years from 2016 to 2025, the population rose from 43.9 million to 45.9 million — a gain of 1.95 million, or 4.4%.

With about 17 people per square kilometre, Argentina is sparsely populated, well below the world average of 62. That ranks 106th of the 115 countries here. Its closest comparisons on density are Saudi Arabia and Chad.

Argentina covers about 2,736,690 km² of land, which is what turns a population of 45.9 million into that density figure.

About 92.4% of people live in urban areas, making Argentina almost entirely urban, above the world average of 57.8%. That works out to roughly 42.3 million town and city dwellers and 3.51 million living rurally.

Argentina has a broadly balanced age structure: about 21.0% are under 15 and 12.6% are 65 or older.

The total fertility rate is about 1.50 births per woman, below the ~2.1 replacement level, so without net immigration the population would eventually decline. The world figure is about 2.19.

Life expectancy at birth is about 77.5 years, roughly 4.1 years above the global average of 73.5.
