France Population

France in a global context

With about 64,756,584 people, France is home to roughly 0.80% of the world's population and ranks #20 among the countries on this list. Its population density of 101/km² is about 1.6 times the world average of 62 people per km², across a total area of 640,679 km².

Growth trend

At an annual growth rate of 0.18%, France adds roughly 116,562 people per year. If that rate held steady, the population would reach about 65,931,689 in ten years and double in roughly 389 years. Real growth rarely stays constant, so treat these figures as a simple projection rather than a forecast.
