Georgia’s population increased by 1.3% compared to 2021 and reached 3,736,400 people as of January 1, 2023 the National Statistics Office of Georgia said in its latest update.
Demographic figures showed a negative natural increase (-6,799) and positive net migration (54,509) last year.
Figures also showed urban areas to be more populated than rural locations, with 60.4% of the total population found in the former and almost one third, or 1,241,700 people, in the capital city of Tbilisi.
The data revealed there were 1,793,800 men and 1,942,500 women in the country, for a ratio of 92. The number of men exceeded that of women under the age of 35, while the opposite situation was observed for the age group of 35 and over - a tendency that could be explained by higher life expectancy for women.

The median age of the population stood at 38 years in the latest examination of figures.
