Over the past decade, the Danish population gradually grew older. While there were around 230,000 inhabitants aged 80 years or older in 2014, this group counted over 320,000 people at the beginning of 2023. The largest age group, however, were Danes between 20 and 39 years of age, counting over 1.55 million people that year. Growing population The Danish population has constantly grown since 2000, almost reaching six million in 2024. This is explained by a higher number of people born than deceasing, and a higher number of immigrants than emigrants. In 2023, however, more people deceased than babies born. Eastern Europeans make up largest immigrant group The over 600,000 inhabitants in Denmark with a foreign citizenship underline the increasing role migrants play in Danish society. Many of these are people migrating to Denmark for work, such as many Poles, who make up the largest immigrant group ahead of Ukrainians. Many of the Ukrainians are refugees fleeing the Russia-Ukraine war that broke out in 2022.

The population of Denmark increased steadily over the past 24 years. From 5.3 million at the millennium, it had grown to nearly six million in 2024. The number of female inhabitants has been slightly higher than the number of male inhabitants in all years during this period and amounted to about 2.98 million women in 2023, compared to roughly 2.95 million men.

Births and deaths

The fertility rate in Denmark fluctuated over the past 20 years. In 2022, a Danish woman gave birth to 1.55 children on average. A total of 58,000 children were born in Denmark that year. Meanwhile, 59,000 people died in Denmark that year.

Migration

The arrival of immigrants play an important role in the increasing population in Denmark. In 2022, more than 120,000 immigrants arrived in the country, a number that must be seen in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The same year, the number of people emigrating from Denmark amounted to 60,000.

The number of immigrants living in Denmark increased from 2014 to 2024. In 2014, there were 480,000 immigrants living in Denmark, whereas this number had increased to 700,000 in 2024. That year, there were over five million inhabitants of Danish origin, and 220,000 descendants residing in Denmark. The largest group of immigrants living in Denmark comes from Poland.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Denmark town population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Denmark town across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Denmark town was 2,635, a 0.15% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Denmark town population was 2,639, a decline of 0.53% compared to a population of 2,653 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Denmark town decreased by 108. In this period, the peak population was 2,875 in the year 2012. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

BackgroundWhile Denmark is well known for its plethora of registers. Many studies are conducted on research databases that only cover parts of Denmark, and regional differences could potentially threaten these studies’ external validity. The aim of this study was to assess sociodemographic and health related homogeneity of the five Danish regions.MethodsWe obtained descriptive data for the five Danish regions, using publicly available data sources: Statbank Denmark, the Danish Ministry of Economic Affairs, and Medstat.dk. These data sources comprise aggregate data from four different nationwide registers: The Danish National Patient Register, The Danish Civil Registration System, The Danish Register of Medicinal Product Statistics, and The Danish National Health Service Register for Primary Care. We compared the Danish regions regarding demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, health care utilization, and use of medication. For each characteristic, one-year prevalence was obtained and analyses were performed for 2013 and 2008 to account for possible change over time.ResultsIn 2013, 5,602,628 persons were living in Denmark. The mean age was 40.7 years in the entire Danish population and ranged between 39.6 to 42.4 years in the five regions (coefficient of variation between regions [CV] = 0.028). The proportion of women in Denmark was 50.4% (CV = 0.009). The proportion of residents with low education level was 28.7% (CV = 0.051). The annual number of GP contacts was 7.1 (range: 6.7–7.4, CV = 0.040), and 114 per 1,000 residents were admitted to the hospital (range: 101–131, CV = 0.107). The annual number of persons redeeming a prescription of any medication was 723 per 1,000 residents (range: 718–743, CV = 0.016). Analyses for 2008 showed comparable levels of homogeneity as for 2013.ConclusionsWe found substantial homogeneity between all of the five Danish regions with regard to sociodemographic and health related characteristics. Epidemiologic studies conducted on regional subsets of Danish citizens have a high degree of generalizability.
