How many people live in Madrid? As of September 2026, Madrid, Spain has an estimated population of 6,206,519. Applying national demographic rates to the city baseline gives a model estimate of about 121 births and 158 deaths per day. Average life expectancy is 83.0 years. Figures are estimates based on UN & World Bank demographic rates โ€” see methodology.
โœ“ Methodology disclosedDataset/model last materially updated May 20, 2026 ยท Methodology ยท Data Sources
๐Ÿ“ŠMethodology: Live counters estimate births and deaths using annual demographic rates applied to the base population. Births are calculated as (population ร— birth rate รท 1000) รท 365.25 รท 24 รท 60 รท 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.
โš ๏ธData Transparency: The population figure for Madrid (6,211,000) comes from our city database (SimpleMaps World Cities Database) and may differ from official census figures. Birth rate (7.1/1,000) and death rate (9.3/1,000) are country-level averages from UN World Population Prospects & World Bank applied to all cities in Spain โ€” individual city rates may vary. Life expectancy (83.0 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 6,156,523 by 2030, 6,022,413 by 2040, and 5,891,224 by 2050. This is a scenario calculation, not an official forecast. It assumes constant rates and excludes migration, boundary changes, policy and economic shifts.

Madrid is a major city located in Spain. With an estimated population of 6,211,000 people, it represents a significant urban center within the country. The city operates in the Africa/Ceuta time zone (UTC+2:00), placing it among the cities that share this temporal region.

Demographically, Madrid has a stable natural-change estimate. With a birth rate of 7.1 and a death rate of 9.3 per 1,000 residents annually, the population is slowly stable. The average life expectancy stands at 83.0 years, reflecting the overall health and living conditions in the region. The model estimates approximately 44,098 births and 57,762 deaths per year, resulting in a net change of -13,664 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. These figures offer valuable insights into the demographic dynamics of Madrid and its position within Spain's urban landscape.
