People per sq. km of land area EN.POP.DNST
Kyrgyz Republic's population density was 38.4 in 2025, ranked 164th globally. This represents a 3.6% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1992–2025.
Overview
Kyrgyz Republic's population density stood at 38.4 in 2025, a rise of +1.3 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 38.4 by 2025. Kyrgyz Republic ranked 164th globally.
The Kyrgyz Republic's population density has demonstrated a relatively steady increase over the past three decades, with a notable rise from 23.54 in 1994 to 38.35 in 2025, its highest recorded level. This growth places the country at #164 globally in terms of population density. A comparison with peer nations reveals that the Kyrgyz Republic's density is comparable to that of Palau, which boasts a slightly higher figure of 38.48. The country's population density has more than doubled since the 1994 trough, indicating a steady trend of urbanization and settlement in the region. The sustained growth suggests that the Kyrgyz Republic's population is becoming increasingly concentrated in urban areas, potentially leading to increased strain on resources and infrastructure. A decline in fertility rates or an acceleration of migration could alter the trajectory of this trend, potentially slowing or even reversing the growth in population density.
