In 2020–2025 the Dominican Republic loses 29,894 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 5,860 a year more leaving than arriving.

How to read this: each column is one age, youngest on the left. Above the line, in blue, are the ages gaining people; below it, in orange, the ages losing them. This is the UN's projection for 2020–2025 — the record of migration by age does not go back beyond 2020.
Its best and worst years between 1950 and 2023: a gain of -6,272 (1950), and a loss of 37,170 (2006).
In 2024, 738,667 people living in the Dominican Republic had been born in another country, 7 of every 100 people there, against 4 in 1990.

Years in good health in Dominican Republic
A baby born in the Dominican Republic in 2021 could expect 73.3 years of life, 63.6 of them in full health (95% range 62.8–64.4). That leaves 9.7 years in less than full health, close to the world's 9.5.

How to read this: each square is a year of life, each row ten years; filled squares are years in full health, rounded to whole years.
Women: 65.5 healthy years of 76.8. Men: 61.8 of 70.2. In 2019, before the pandemic, the healthy years were 64.1.

In 2025, 42 people asked for asylum in the Dominican Republic for the first time; 8,307 people from the Dominican Republic asked for asylum in another country.

0.5 of every 100 have no electricity at home (2024). 9 of every 100 do not use the internet (2024).
