Iran Population

Iran in a global context

With about 89,172,767 people, Iran is home to roughly 1.11% of the world's population and ranks #15 among the countries on this list. Its population density of 54/km² is below the world average of 62 people per km² (about 87% of it), across a total area of 1,648,195 km².

Growth trend

At an annual growth rate of 0.70%, Iran adds roughly 624,209 people per year. If that rate held steady, the population would reach about 95,615,202 in ten years and double in roughly 100 years. Real growth rarely stays constant, so treat these figures as a simple projection rather than a forecast.
