Compare Georgia with another country
Where it stands
In 2025 Georgia has 3,935,766 people, which is 0.048% of the 8.19 billion counted across the 217 countries and areas on this site. That puts it 129th by population, behind Panama and ahead of Croatia.
Since 1960
In 1960 the figure was 3,645,600. Since then the population has grown 1.08×, an average of 0.12% a year upward. It has not yet doubled since then.
The population peaked in 1993 at 4,911,100, and it has fallen 19.9% since. By 2050 the projected total is 3,780,393, 3.9% below the 2025 figure.
The ranking in 2050
In 2050 the projected rank is 135th, down 6 places from 129th. Rankings move when other countries grow faster or slower, not only when Georgia changes.
People and land
Georgia covers 69,490 km² of land, so 2025 density is 57 people per km² — 149th most crowded of 216 places with an area figure. At that density a square 10 km on a side holds about 5,664 people.
The fertility rate was 1.8 births per woman in 2024, below the roughly 2.1 needed to keep a population steady without migration; life expectancy at birth was 74.7 years (2024); 20.5% of people were under 15 and 16% were 65 or older (2025); 61% of the population lived in cities. These shape the curve above: a young population keeps growing after fertility falls, an old one starts shrinking sooner.
Its nearest neighbours in the ranking are Panama just above, with 4.57 million (1.16× as many), and Croatia just below, with 3.88 million (1.02× as many as Croatia has).
