Vietnam Population

Vietnam in a global context

With about 98,858,950 people, Vietnam is home to roughly 1.23% of the world's population and ranks #14 among the countries on this list. Its population density of 298/km² is about 4.8 times the world average of 62 people per km², across a total area of 331,212 km².

Growth trend

At an annual growth rate of 0.85%, Vietnam adds roughly 840,301 people per year. If that rate held steady, the population would reach about 107,590,771 in ten years and double in roughly 82 years. Real growth rarely stays constant, so treat these figures as a simple projection rather than a forecast.
