How Azerbaijan's population is changing
Azerbaijan records about 281 births and 163 deaths a day. That is a natural increase of roughly 118 people per day, or about 43,100 a year before migration is counted.
Net migration runs at about 8,731 over the reported period, with more people arriving than leaving. That is equivalent to about 20% of its natural change.
If the current rate held indefinitely, Azerbaijan would take roughly 161 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 9.76 million to 10.2 million — a gain of 489,184, or 5.0%.
Where people live in Azerbaijan
With about 123 people per square kilometre, Azerbaijan is moderately populated, roughly 2.0× the world average of 62. That ranks 43rd of the 115 countries here. Its closest comparisons on density are Benin and Poland.
Azerbaijan covers about 82,650 km² of land, which is what turns a population of 10.2 million into that density figure.
About 58.6% of people live in urban areas, making Azerbaijan majority urban, almost exactly the world average of 57.8%. That works out to roughly 6.01 million town and city dwellers and 4.24 million living rurally.
Age, fertility and life expectancy in Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan has a broadly balanced age structure: about 21.2% are under 15 and 9.2% are 65 or older. Children outnumber over-65s by roughly 2.3 to one.
The total fertility rate is about 1.43 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 74.6 years, roughly 1.1 years above the global average of 73.5.
