Austria's Total Population from 1990 to 2023

Population Growth Trends in Austria (1990-2023)
Austria’s population grew from 7.7 million in 1990 to over 9.1 million in 2023. Growth rates were modest in the 1990s and early 2000s, reflecting a stable yet aging demographic. From 2010 onward, a more pronounced increase occurred, largely due to an influx of migrants, driven by both EU expansion and Austria's appeal as a central European economic hub. The mid-2010s saw a marked rise, coinciding with increased migration related to geopolitical factors such as the European refugee crisis. Despite an aging population, continued immigration and natural population growth sustained upward trends.
