Africa · Eastern Africa
Zimbabwe is recorded at 16.63m people in 2024, with total annual change of +311,977 under the WPP medium variant.
Zimbabwe 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.
