βœ“ Methodology disclosedDataset/model last materially updated May 20, 2026 Β· Methodology Β· Data Sources
πŸ“ŠMethodology: Live counters estimate births and deaths using annual demographic rates applied to the base population. Births are calculated as (population Γ— birth rate Γ· 1000) Γ· 365.25 Γ· 24 Γ· 60 Γ· 60 per second. Deaths use the same formula with the death rate. Population change is the net difference between cumulative births and deaths since the baseline data date. These are statistical approximations, not live vital-registration data.
⚠️Data Transparency: The population figure for El Calafate (22,844) comes from our city database (SimpleMaps World Cities Database) and may differ from official census figures. Birth rate (16.6/1,000) and death rate (7.8/1,000) are country-level averages from UN World Population Prospects & World Bank applied to all cities in Argentina β€” individual city rates may vary. Life expectancy (76.0 yrs) is also a national estimate. Live counters are mathematical estimates from our baseline date (2026-05-20), not live vital-registration. City data: SimpleMaps World Cities Database. Demographic rates: UN World Population Prospects & World Bank. Displayed times use the closest available timezone data and may be approximate for some cities.

Baseline & Model Scope

The imported city population is the baseline observation used by this page. We do not present reconstructed historical city populations as observed facts because applying today's national birth/death rates backward would not account for migration, boundary changes or historical rate changes.

Natural-Change Scenario

If current national birth and death rates stayed constant and migration were ignored, the model would produce 23,659 by 2030, 25,825 by 2040, and 28,190 by 2050. This is a scenario calculation, not an official forecast. It assumes constant rates and excludes migration, boundary changes, policy and economic shifts.

El Calafate is a city located in Argentina. With an estimated population of 22,844 people, it represents a significant urban center within the country. The city operates in the America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires time zone (UTC-3:00), placing it among the cities that share this temporal region.

Demographically, El Calafate has a growing natural-change estimate. With a birth rate of 16.6 and a death rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents annually, the population is steadily growing. The average life expectancy stands at 76.0 years, reflecting the overall health and living conditions in the region. The model estimates approximately 379 births and 178 deaths per year, resulting in a net change of 201 people per year.

The live counters on this page provide continuously updated estimates based on these annual rates, calculating births, deaths, and population changes from our baseline data date of 2026-05-20.
