Which country recorded 241,499,431 people in its 2023 national census? Pakistan recorded that population in its 2023 census.
Conducted by Pakistan’s Bureau of Statistics from March 1 to May 30, 2023, the count was the country’s seventh national census and its first fully digital census. The figure covers Pakistan’s four provinces and the Islamabad Capital Territory; it excludes Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan from this particular total.
The census found that Punjab was Pakistan’s most populous administrative unit, with 127,688,922 people, followed by Sindh with 55,696,147. Pakistan’s total population rose substantially from the 2017 census, and the reported annual growth rate was 2.55%. About 61.18% of the counted population lived in rural areas and 38.82% in urban areas.
A common mix-up is treating 241,499,431 as the population of every territory administered by Pakistan. Adding the separately reported populations of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan would produce a larger figure, but the quiz’s exact number refers to the census total for the listed areas of Pakistan.
