Czech Republic Population Clock

Czech Republic records about 230 births and 307 deaths a day — more deaths than births. Natural change is therefore negative, at roughly 77 fewer people per day, or about 28,124 a year before migration.

Net migration runs at about 112,188 over the reported period, with more people leaving than arriving. That is equivalent to about 399% of its natural change.

Over the 9 years from 2016 to 2025, the population rose from 10.6 million to 10.9 million — a gain of 320,546, or 3.0%.

With about 141 people per square kilometre, Czech Republic is moderately populated, roughly 2.3× the world average of 62. That ranks 37th of the 115 countries here. Its closest comparisons on density are Thailand and United Arab Emirates.

Czech Republic covers about 77,167 km² of land, which is what turns a population of 10.9 million into that density figure.

About 72.9% of people live in urban areas, making Czech Republic highly urbanised, above the world average of 57.8%. That works out to roughly 7.93 million town and city dwellers and 2.95 million living rurally.

Czech Republic has one of the world’s oldest populations: about 15.1% are under 15 and 21.2% are 65 or older. Over-65s now outnumber under-15s, which is the classic marker of a population that has finished its demographic transition.

The total fertility rate is about 1.36 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 80.0 years, roughly 6.5 years above the global average of 73.5.
