Homo sapiens; growth slowing toward a projected peak
Africa · Southern Africa
Namibia is recorded at 3.03m people in 2024, with total annual change of +63,956 under the WPP medium variant.
Namibia 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.
