How Morocco's population is changing
Morocco records about 1,726 births and 602 deaths a day. That is a natural increase of roughly 1,124 people per day, or about 410,541 a year before migration is counted.
Net migration runs at about 56,254 over the reported period, with more people leaving than arriving. That is equivalent to about 14% of its natural change.
If the current rate held indefinitely, Morocco would take roughly 76 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 35.0 million to 38.4 million — a gain of 3.41 million, or 9.7%.
Where people live in Morocco
With about 85 people per square kilometre, Morocco is moderately populated, roughly 1.4× the world average of 62. That ranks 60th of the 115 countries here. Its closest comparisons on density are Burkina Faso and Myanmar.
Morocco covers about 446,300 km² of land, which is what turns a population of 38.4 million into that density figure.
About 63.1% of people live in urban areas, making Morocco majority urban, above the world average of 57.8%. That works out to roughly 24.3 million town and city dwellers and 14.2 million living rurally.

The total fertility rate is about 2.21 births per woman, above the ~2.1 replacement level, which is what sustains growth from births alone. The world figure is about 2.19.
