The population in the Peruvian capital growth has been steady since 2020, surpassing the 10 million inhabitants during 2022 and leading to reach its highest peak in 2024 with 10.29 million people. The metropolitan area of Lima also ranked as one of the most populous in Latin America. A crucial part of Peru's economic output The total GDP of Lima reached around 246 billion Peruvian soles, which represents almost half of the total economic output of the country. The industry that contributed the most to Lima's GDP was by far services; nonetheless, the importance of manufacturing makes it the second-largest contributor. Other sectors that are important for the nation, like mining and some agricultural activities, stayed at the bottom part of the list.

Unemployment and poverty The unemployment rate of the Peruvian capital exceeded the 7.5 percent mark during March 2024. While the figure appears as quite an improvement over 2020 and 2021 data, when it reached over 16 percent, it still hasn't fully recovered to the figures before the COVID-19 pandemic.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Lima 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 Lima 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 Lima was 217, a 1.40% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Lima population was 214, an increase of 1.42% compared to a population of 211 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Lima decreased by 24. In this period, the peak population was 241 in the year 2000.
