How Uzbekistan's population is changing
Uzbekistan records about 2,593 births and 612 deaths a day. That is a natural increase of roughly 1,981 people per day, or about 723,560 a year before migration is counted.
Net migration runs at about 6,987 over the reported period, with more people leaving than arriving. That is small next to its natural change.
If the current rate held indefinitely, Uzbekistan would take roughly 37 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 31.3 million to 37.1 million — a gain of 5.77 million, or 18.4%.
Where people live in Uzbekistan
With about 81 people per square kilometre, Uzbekistan is moderately populated, roughly 1.3× the world average of 62. That ranks 64th of the 115 countries here. Its closest comparisons on density are Greece and Romania.
Uzbekistan covers about 440,650 km² of land, which is what turns a population of 37.1 million into that density figure.
About 51.0% of people live in urban areas, making Uzbekistan majority urban, below the world average of 57.8%. That works out to roughly 18.9 million town and city dwellers and 18.1 million living rurally.

Uzbekistan has a young population: about 31.3% are under 15 and 6.1% are 65 or older. Children outnumber over-65s by roughly 5.2 to one.
The total fertility rate is about 3.49 births per woman, above the ~2.1 replacement level, which is what sustains growth from births alone. The world figure is about 2.19.
