POPULATION ESTIMATE OF REPUBLIC OF CROATIA, 2021
According to the mid-2021 population estimate, the Republic of Croatia had 3 878 981 inhabitants, out of which there were 1 867 955 men and 2 011 026 women.
The share of women in the total population of the Republic of Croatia was 51.8%, while the share of men was 48.2%. Such a ratio was recorded in most counties. The lowest share of female population was recorded in the County of Lika-Senj (50.4%), while the largest share was recorded in the City of Zagreb (53.3%).
In 2021, the continuous ageing of the population kept on. The average age of the total population of the Republic of Croatia was 44.3 years (men 42.5, women 45.9), which places it among the oldest nations in Europe.
The ageing process was to a great degree caused by the multi-year drop in the share of youth (0 – 19 years of age) in the total population. At the country level, this share amounted to 19.2% in 2021, while at the county level, it was the lowest in the County of Primorje-Gorski kotar (16.6%) and the highest in the County of Međimurje (21.5%).
The share of the fertile contingent in the total female population continued to decrease. Therefore, in 2021, it amounted to 40.0%.
As compared to the total population, the largest number of persons aged 65 and over was recorded in the County of Šibenik-Knin (27.3%) and the County of Lika-Senj (26.2%), while the smallest number was recorded in the City of Zagreb (20.6%) and in the County of Međimurje (20.5%).
In the Republic of Croatia, 52.0% of the population lived in only five counties, most of them in the City of Zagreb (768 054 or 19.8%) and the County of Split-Dalmatia (423 849 or 10.9%), while the least populated counties were the County of Požega-Slavonia (64 384 or 1.7%) and the County of Lika-Senj (42 931 or 1.1%).

Definitions and explanations
Mid-2017, mid-2018, mid-2019 and mid-2020 population estimates were calculated on the basis of the 2011 Census, natural change and net migration data.
Mid-2021 population estimate is calculated on the basis of the 2021 Census, natural change and net migration data.
In the 2011 Census and 2021 Census, according to the international statistical standards, the concept of the place of usual residence is used in defining the total population. The place of usual residence is considered a place where a person spends most of his/her daily time, irrespective of a short-term absence from it (e.g. due to going on a vacation, trip, medical treatment, visit etc.). In line with the definition of the place of usual residence, the total population includes the following persons:
- those who have lived in their place of usual residence for a continuous period of at least 12 months before the census moment
- those who arrived in their place of usual residence during the 12 months before the census moment with the intention of staying there for at least one year.
A live born child (live birth) is every child who at birth exhibits signs of life, such as breathing, beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord or definite movements of voluntary muscles.
A deceased person (death) is every live born person in whom there is a permanent disappearance of all evidence of life.
Natural increase is the difference between the number of live births and the number of deaths.
Data by age are expressed by completed years of age on the referent date. The data by age groups include persons who reached the age within the limits of an interval.
Average age indicates the mean age of the total population and it is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the age of the total population.
Ageing index represents the ratio of the population, that is, the share (%) of inhabitants aged 60 and over in the number of inhabitants aged from 0 to 19 inclusive.
Fertile female population includes women between 15 and 49 years of age.
Place of permanent residence, according to Article 2 of the Permanent Residence Act (NN, Nos 144/12 and 158/13) is "a place and address in the Republic of Croatia where a person settled with an intention of staying permanently in order to exercise their rights and commitments related to life interests such as family, professional, economic, social, cultural and other interests".
Immigrated or emigrated population is the population that changed their place of usual residence on the territory of the Republic of Croatia or that changed their country of usual residence for a period that is, or is expected to be, of at least one year.
Net migration of population (migration balance) is the difference between the number of immigrants and the number of emigrants of a particular area or country in a given period of time.
Territorial constitution
The data are presented by territorial constitution according to the Act on Territories of Counties, Towns and Municipalities in the Republic of Croatia (NN, No. 86/06), with the situation as on 31 December 2021.
