Chart and table of population level and growth rate for the Utrecht, Netherlands metro area from 1950 to 2025.
In 2023, around 1.39 million inhabitants lived in the Dutch province of Utrecht, of which the largest group of people was 30 to 35 years old with 100,000 citizens. There were around 1,900 people aged 95 years or older.
In 2023, Zuid-Holland was the most populated province in the Netherlands, with over 3.8 million inhabitants. That was over 800,000 inhabitants more than runner-up Noord-Holland, the province in which also the capital Amsterdam is located. That year, Amsterdam’s population alone made up 863,000 of Noord-Holland’s nearly three million inhabitants.
 Zuid-Holland   
Zuid-Holland’s largest city is Rotterdam, home to approximately 645,000 people. The third largest city in the Netherlands, Den Haag (or The Hague, as internationals would know it) is also located in Zuid-Holland. The city, which hosts the Dutch government as well as many international organizations, reached a population of roughly 538,000 in 2019.
Utrecht and Eindhoven  
 Completing the top five of the largest cities in the Netherlands are Utrecht and Eindhoven, located in the provinces Utrecht and Noord-Brabant. The city of Utrecht had nearly 353,000 inhabitants in 2019, or roughly one quarter of the entire population of the province bearing the same name. Eindhoven’s population reached nearly 232,000 that year, but as Noord-Brabant boasts two more of the largest cities in the country, Eindhoven plays a less central role in its own province as Utrecht does, despite being home to both Philips and one of the most successful football clubs in Dutch history, PSV Eindhoven.

Population growth in The Netherlands by birth, death and migration by sex and region.
In addition to national data, information is presented by group of provinces, province, COROP region and municipality.
The regional totals shown concern cumulated municipal data. Where changes of municipal boundaries transect regional boundaries, the municipal classifications concern the most recent situation. The municipality of Vianen, for example, was annexed by the province of Utrecht on 1 January 2002, and is classified under the province of Utrecht in the Table.
Data available from: 1942
Status of the figures: All data recorded in this publication are final data. Up to 1977 data may differ from other published data on StatLine. This is due to differences between the data files used by Statistics Netherlands and the official data as published in 'Loop van de bevolking per gemeente'.
Changes as of 4 August 2023: Final figures of 2022 have been added.
Changes as of 12 June 2023: The 2021 population density figures for all regions were incorrect due to the use of an incorrect data file. These figures have been corrected in this version of the table.
When will new figures be published? In the 3rd quarter of 2024 figures of 2023 will be added in this table.

EN: The dataset is based on tables with detailed data for municipalities and boroughs of the population census and the occupational census of the Netherlands 1947. These detailed tables from the archive of Statistics Netherlands never have been published. They are written on so-called ‘transparanten’, sheets in A4-format. The set contains more than 35 table-types, some of which spread over two or more sheets, some combined on one sheet.
Image scans of the detailed tables have been made in February 2005. Those scans, 29489 in total were published on www.volkstellingen.nl, ordered by province and municipality. In a later stage the scans have been converted by data-entry to Excel worksheets. In most cases one scan has been converted to one Excel file. However, if a scan contains two or more tables, a separate Excel file is made for each table. The Excel files also have been converted to CSV-text files.
The thematic collection: 12th Population Census 31 May 1947 contains 11 datasets for the provinces plus one dataset for the Netherlands as a whole. The documentation for any dataset in the collection contains a description of the contents of all table-types and the instruction given for data-entry.
This dataset regards the files of the province Utrecht. The files are grouped by municipality. General files for the province Utrecht are contained in the dataset for the Netherlands as a whole.
The metadata per file (details) contains the table number. An overview of table numbers by file is contained in ‘Table number per scan_Utrecht.csv’. This applies for the scans as well as the Excel files and the CSV-text files. The file 'Titles of Tables' shows the table numbers with the corresponding titles of the tables.
NL: De dataset is gebaseerd op gedetailleerde tabellen op plaatselijk en wijkniveau van de Volks- en Beroepstellingen 1947. Deze gedetailleerde tabellen uit het CBS-archief zijn nooit gepubliceerd. Zij stonden op perkamentachtig papier (‘transparanten’) in A4-formaat. Het betreft meer dan 35 tabeltypen, waarvan sommige per tabel op één transparant, sommige per tabel gespreid over twee of meer transparanten (afhankelijk van de grootte van de gemeente) en enkele met twee of drie tabellen op één transparant.
Van deze gedetailleerde tabellen zijn in februari 2005 tijdens de Landelijke Contactdag Document Management image scans gemaakt in JPEG-formaat. De in totaal 29489 scans zijn in eerste instantie opgenomen op de website www.volkstellingen.nl, geordend per provincie en gemeente. Later zijn de scans met data-entry overgenomen in Excelbestanden. In principe is van elke scan één Excelbestand gemaakt. Alleen als een scan twee of meer tabellen bevat, is van elke tabel een afzonderlijk Excelbestand gemaakt. De Excelbestanden zijn ook geconverteerd naar CSV-tekstbestanden.
De collectie datasets ‘Volks- en Beroepentellingen 1947’ bestaat uit 11 datasets voor de provincies plus een dataset voor Nederland als geheel. De documentatie voor alle datasets in deze collectie omvat onder meer een beschrijving van de inhoud van elk tabeltype en de instructies die zijn gegeven voor de data-entry.
Deze dataset betreft de bestanden van de provincie Utrecht. De bestanden zijn ingedeeld per gemeente. Algemene bestanden over de provincie Utrecht bevinden zich in de dataset voor Nederland als geheel.
De metadata per bestand (details) bevat het tabelnummer. Een overzicht met het tabelnummer per bestand staat in ‘Table number per scan_Utrecht.csv’. Dat is ook van toepassing op de bijbehorende Excelbestanden en CSV-tekstbestanden. Het bestand 'Titles of Tables' geeft een overzicht van de tabelnummers met de bijbehorende tabelnamen. Dit bestand is beschikbaar gesteld als pdf-document en als CSV-tekstbestand.
12de volkstelling 31 mei 1947 - Utrecht
