The most recent figure for population in Tajikistan is 10.39 million people, measured in 2023. That is the highest value across all 241 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.0% on the previous year and up 26.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, population in Tajikistan peaked at 10.39 million people in 2023 and was at its lowest, 220,000 people, in 1000.

That places Tajikistan 92nd out of 238 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
