Africa · Eastern Africa
Kenya is recorded at 56.43m people in 2024, with total annual change of +1,096,901 under the WPP medium variant.
Kenya observed 2023 population pyramid, grouped into five broad age bands from WPP single-age male and female arrays.
Population identity: births minus deaths plus net migration equals total change within the Record tolerance.
