Lithuania Population Density
People per sq. km of land area EN.POP.DNST
Lithuania's population density was 46.1 in 2025, ranked 157th globally. This represents a 0.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1992–2025.
Overview
Lithuania's population density stood at 46.1 in 2025, a rise of +0.2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 46.1 by 2025. Lithuania ranked 157th globally.
Lithuania’s population density has fallen steadily over the 33‑year series, slipping from its all‑time peak of 59.03 persons per square kilometre in 1992 to a trough of 44.86 in 2021, before edging up slightly to 46.07 in 2025, placing the country 157th globally. The modest rebound follows a decade of out‑migration and low birth rates that had driven the long‑term decline, and it leaves Lithuania marginally denser than Mozambique’s 45.12 but still below Montenegro’s 46.20 and Colombia’s 48.25. The recent uptick reflects a combination of modest returns of emigrants and a slight rise in fertility, yet the density remains below the regional average for the Baltic area. Continued improvements in labour‑market conditions and targeted policies to encourage family formation could sustain the upward momentum, while any resurgence of emigration would likely reverse the modest gains observed in the latest year.
