This statistic displays the most populated municipalities in Luxembourg in 2023. In 2023, the most populated municipality in Luxembourg was the municipality of Luxembourg with approximately 132,800 inhabitants.

In 1800, the population of Luxembourg was estimated to be 127,000, a figure which would rise steadily through the early 19 th century as the country would become an increasingly prominent city in the region. Luxembourg’s population would see its first major period of growth following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, which would result in the previously-French occupied Luxembourg being granted formal autonomy in the subsequent Congress of Vienna. As a largely agrarian state at this time, the population of Luxembourg would see several periods of growth and decline throughout the remainder of the 20th century, as many residents emigrated abroad to countries such as the United States in search of work. Nevertheless, the population of Luxembourg would rise to over 235,000 by the turn of the century, as Dutch modernization and the removal of the city’s fortifications in the 1867 Treaty of London would allow for a greater expansion of the city proper.

The first half of the 20 th century would largely be a period of stagnation for the country, as the country would see large periods of stagnation in the 1910s and throughout the 1930s and 1940s, as occupation in both World Wars and the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic) would see massive damage to the city in both human and economic terms. Luxembourg’s population would see significant growth in the country’s population, particularly so following the creation of the European Union in 1958 (Luxembourg was one of the six founding members of the union). Growth would accelerate even further following the 1980s, as increases in industrialization and accompanying economic growth would lead to an increasingly growing immigrant population from other EU nations in Luxembourg, which by 2015 would account for nearly half the citizens in Luxembourg. As a result of this growth, in 2020, Luxembourg is estimated to have a population of 626,000.
