What reported population did Saudi Arabia have in 2022? 32,175,224.

Saudi Arabia had a reported population of 32,175,224 in 2022. The figure includes both Saudi citizens and the country's large expatriate population, making it different from a count of Saudi nationals alone.

Saudi Arabia's population grew rapidly after the discovery and development of oil transformed the kingdom's economy. Workers moved toward expanding cities and industrial centers, and the country became highly urbanized. Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, and Dammam are among its major population hubs.

A frequent mix-up is the figure 35,013,414, which appears in a population-by-age table for 2020 rather than as the reported 2022 population. The number also changes depending on whether a source gives a census count, an annual estimate, or a projection. For this question, the requested year and reported figure identify 32,175,224.
