San Marino in numbers

33,732 people lived in San Marino in mid-2023: less than 0.01% of the world's people, and the 221st-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports. That is 2.6 times its 1950 population of 12,948.

Its population peaked in 2020 at 34,768 and has been falling since. The UN's medium projection has 31,165 in 2100. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 11,507 to 66,670.

2015 was the last year births kept up with deaths. Every year since has had more deaths than births, as does every projected year to 2100. The population still grew until 2020, because more people arrived than left.

The median age was 31.4 in 1950 and 48.4 in 2023; the projection has 51.7 in 2100. 21.7% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 34.3% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) peaked in 2020 at 23,173; in 2023 it was 22,134.

Its place in the world by population: 221st in 2023, 221st in 2050, 218th in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes the Marshall Islands in 2028, the British Virgin Islands in 2085 and Saint Kitts and Nevis in 2096. It is overtaken by Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba in 2031.

San Marino, every age in every year

Each column is a year and each row an age; the denser the ink in a cell, the more people. Everyone born in the same year climbs one 45° diagonal, so famines, baby booms and migration show up as streaks. Select a cell to follow its generation.

SMR · ages 15–64

Who does the work in San Marino

San Marino had the most working-age people it is ever expected to have in 2020: 23,174 people aged 15–64, against 22,136 in 2023.

How to read this: one orange square for each of 100 people aged 15–64 in 2023. Beneath them, teal for the children living alongside those 100 and violet for the people aged 65 or older.

Fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 in 38 years: 1979–2014 and 2018–2019.

SMR · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in San Marino, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 San Marino loses 151 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 50–54, at 27 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.

In the years that were counted, 1950–2023, the most it gained in one year was 2,325 (2011) and the most it lost was 403 (2022).

In 2024, 5,838 people living in San Marino had been born in another country, 17 of every 100 people there, against 14 in 1990.

Displacement in San Marino

UNHCR publishes no refugees, asylum-seekers or displaced people in or from San Marino at the end of 2025.

Read that as a gap in the record, not as a finding. The count reaches as far as one agency's work reaches, and no further.
