View source for Demographics of Vilnius

{{Short description|none}}

'''[[Vilnius]]''' is the historic and present-day capital of Lithuania. Records of demographic measures go back to 1766, though the city itself has existed much longer. In recent days, the demographics have been heavily influenced by the war in neighboring Ukraine.

After the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine|Russian invasion of Ukraine]] and [[2022 Ukrainian refugee crisis|an influx of Ukrainian refugees]] to [[Lithuania]], who were granted a refugee status<ref>[https://osp.stat.gov.lt/ukraine-dashboards WAR REFUGEES FROM UKRAINE, Statistics of Lithuania]</ref> the number of inhabitants of Vilnius rose to '''636,209''' as of February 2024 (according to the municipality of Vilnius). The number of inhabitants of Vilnius, born in [[Ukraine]] rose from 10 thousand to 29 thousand between 2021 and 2023. The number of persons born in [[Belarus]] rose from 25 thousand to 37 thousand during the same period mostly as a consequence of [[2020–2021 Belarusian protests]] and intensified fleeing abroad of its citizens. Also, numbers of persons, who settle in Vilnius, coming from [[Central Asia]], [[Caucasus]], [[Africa]]n, [[Asia]]n (most notably - [[India]]) countries are on the rise.<ref name="Statistics of Vilnius">[https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiOTE2Mzk5MjEtZGU5Yi00MTU1LWFkOGEtYmQ2M2ZiM2RmYzQxIiwidCI6ImFmZjM2MzMxLTNlNWUtNDdlOC1hZjkzLTE4NTFkNmQxZmUzYiIsImMiOjh9 Statistics of Vilnius]</ref>

In 2023-2024 a surge of migrants from [[Central Asia]] and [[India]] was observed. The number of economic migrants in Lithuania from [[Uzbekistan]] rose from 1.8 thousand to almost 10 thousand, from [[Kyrgyzstan]] – from less than 2 thousand to more than 6.6 thousand, from [[Tajikistan]] – from 1.4 thousand to 6.3 thousand, from [[India]] – from 1.2 thousand to 5.2 thousand. Most of these migrants settled in [[Vilnius]].<ref>[https://www.bernardinai.lt/lietuvoje-mazeja-ukrainieciu-kartais-auga-atvykusiuju-is-vidurines-azijos/ Lietuvoje mažėja ukrainiečių, kartais auga atvykusiųjų iš Vidurinės Azijos]</ref>

As of late 2023, ''73 thousand foreigners'' lived in Vilnius, up from 38 thousand a year and a half earlier. In January 2022, there were also 5 000 foreign minors living in Vilnius, but the number had risen to 13 000 in January 2023.<ref>[https://ihvilnius.lt/media-news/-the-number-of-foreigners-living-in-lithuan Number of foreigners living in Lithuania surpasses 200,000]</ref>

According to the municipality of Vilnius, the city had a population of 597,610<ref name="Statistics of Vilnius"/> as of May 2022 – the figure includes [[Grigiškės]], a formally separate town within the municipality of the capital, but without a separate body of a town government except that of a Vilnius city district ([[seniūnija]]). The actual number of city inhabitants could be higher as according to the Vilnius territorial health insurance fund, there were 732,815 permanent inhabitants as of January 2021 in Vilnius city and [[Vilnius district]] municipalities combined<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.vilniaustlk.lt/index.php?id=32 |title=Health Insurance Fund under the Ministry of Health |access-date=2021-01-20 |archive-date=2021-01-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128102725/https://www.vilniaustlk.lt/index.php?id=32 |url-status=dead }}</ref>{{NoteTag|Some inhabitants of [[Vilnius district]] were registered at [[Vilnius]] city healthcare facilities – the actual number of permanent city inhabitants within the city administrative borders must have been higher than official figures of 569, 588 or 589 thousand, but smaller than 643,965 (as of 31 December 2020)<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.vilniaustlk.lt/failai/istaigoms/prisirasymai/index.htm?sheet=01&rnd=3 |title=Inhabitants, registered at Vilnius city primary healthcare facilities |access-date=2021-01-20 |archive-date=2021-01-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128115354/https://www.vilniaustlk.lt/failai/istaigoms/prisirasymai/index.htm?sheet=01&rnd=3 |url-status=dead }}</ref>}}.

According to the predictions, made by the municipality specialists of the city planning department of Vilnius, the number of inhabitants of Vilnius in 2030 could be between 630,3 thousand (pessimistic scenario) and 685 thousand (optimistic scenario) with the basic scenario of 651,6 thousand inhabitants within the city borders.<ref>[https://judumas.vilnius.lt/vdjp-informacija/ Vilniaus miesto darnaus judumo plano santrauka, Vilniaus planas, page 48]</ref>
