Zarzis Population 2026

Important: These are model inputs, not a measured city age profile. Country-level birth, death and life-expectancy values are applied to the city baseline because city-level vital statistics are not available consistently for every location in this dataset.

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.

If current national birth and death rates stayed constant and migration were ignored, the model would produce 82,919 by 2030, 90,691 by 2040, and 99,192 by 2050. This is a scenario calculation, not an official forecast. It assumes constant rates and excludes migration, boundary changes, policy and economic shifts.

Zarzis is a city located in Tunisia. With an estimated population of 80,000 people, it represents a significant urban center within the country. The city operates in the Africa/Tunis time zone (UTC+1:00), placing it among the cities that share this temporal region.

Demographically, Zarzis has a growing natural-change estimate. With a birth rate of 15 and a death rate of 6 per 1,000 residents annually, the population is steadily growing. The average life expectancy stands at 77.0 years, reflecting the overall health and living conditions in the region. The model estimates approximately 1,200 births and 480 deaths per year, resulting in a net change of 720 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.
