Population

Population density in the Czech Republic by district

The Czech Republic has about 10.5 million people. This number has not grown much in the past century because families have had fewer children and many people left during World Wars I and II. After World War II, the population was lower because many German-speaking people moved away.

Today, the Czech Republic’s population is growing again, mostly because people from other countries have moved in. The country has many people living close together, but some mountainous areas have fewer people. Life expectancy is around 79 years for everyone, 77 years for men, and 83 years for women.
