About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Morocco by gender, including both male and female populations. This dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Morocco across both sexes and to determine which sex constitutes the majority.

Key observations

There is a slight majority of female population, with 50.77% of total population being female. Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2018-2022 5-Year Estimates.

Scope of gender :

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis. No further analysis is done on the data reported from the Census Bureau.

Variables / Data Columns

• Gender: This column displays the Gender (Male / Female)
• Population: The population of the gender in the Morocco is shown in this column.
• % of Total Population: This column displays the percentage distribution of each gender as a proportion of Morocco total population. Please note that the sum of all percentages may not equal one due to rounding of values.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Morocco 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 Morocco 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 Morocco was 1,071, a 0.19% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Morocco population was 1,069, a decline of 0.37% compared to a population of 1,073 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Morocco decreased by 104. In this period, the peak population was 1,175 in the year 2000. 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).

Morocco Census 2024: Demographic & Socioeconomic Analysis

📊 Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) on Moroccan Census Data (2024)

📌 Introduction

This project aims to explore and analyze Morocco’s 2024 Census Data, focusing on demographic and socioeconomic indicators at the municipality level. I used structured data from the Haut-Commissariat au Plan (HCP) of Morocco, obtained from their official source:
🔗 HCP Official Data

The analysis will cover key indicators, including:
✅ Municipal population distribution (total, male, female, and age groups)
✅ Marital status proportions across age groups and genders
✅ Fertility and marriage indicators

📂 Dataset Overview

I have two datasets representing 1,539 municipalities across Morocco 🇲🇦.

1️⃣ Municipal Population (mun_pop sheet)

This dataset provides the total population and its breakdown by gender and age groups.

2️⃣ Marital Status & Fertility (marital_status sheet)

This dataset focuses on marital status proportions and fertility indicators.

📌 Why Focus on Ages 15 and Above?

In Morocco, the average age at first marriage is 25.5 years for women and 32 years for men. However, to capture the full spectrum of marital statuses, including those who married at younger ages, demographic analyses often consider individuals aged 15 and over. This approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of marital patterns across all adults.

Demographic structure (Age and gender distributions)
📌 Marital status insights (Trends in marriage, divorce, widowhood)
📌 Fertility patterns (ISF and average children per woman)
📌 City (I'm focusing on Casablanca city only)

Key information about Morocco population

• The Morocco population reached 36.5 million people in Dec 2024, compared with the previously reported figure of 37.0 million people in Dec 2023
• The data reached an all-time high of 37.0 million people in Dec 2023 and a record low of 11.6 million people in Dec 1960

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Morocco, IN population pyramid, which represents the Morocco population distribution across age and gender, using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2018-2022 5-Year Estimates. It lists the male and female population for each age group, along with the total population for those age groups. Higher numbers at the bottom of the table suggest population growth, whereas higher numbers at the top indicate declining birth rates. Furthermore, the dataset can be utilized to understand the youth dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio, total dependency ratio, and potential support ratio.

Key observations

• Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Morocco, IN, is 25.9.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Morocco, IN, is 25.6.
• Total dependency ratio for Morocco, IN is 51.4.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Morocco, IN is 3.9.
