The population of Turkey 2020 

The population of Turkey at the beginning of the year 2020 was about 83,154,997 people, with an annual increase of more than one million people, and a rate of about 1.4%. 

According to the statistics of the General Directorate of Souls in Turkey, the number of males in Turkey, according to the same statistic, reached 41.721,136 people (50.17% of the population in Turkey), while the number of females reached 41,433.861 (49.83% of the total population of Turkey). 

In this aspect, it is indicated that the National Statistical Institute of Turkey undertakes the task of censusing the population of Turkey on an annual basis and it submits its report on the last day of each year, according to very accurate statistical mechanisms, since 2007, while before that date, Turkey used the census method once every five years.

The most prominent features of the population in Turkey

According to the census statistics in Turkey, the following advantages can be noted:

• The percentage of young people in Turkey is very large

• The proportions of males and females in Turkey are very similar

• In the previous period, the rates of urbanization (moving from the countryside to the city) increased.

• Migration rates increased from small towns to large cities

• Istanbul is the largest population center in Turkey, comprising approximately 18% of the population of Turkey

• The rate of population increase in Turkey is high compared to the rates of population increases in European countries

Population increase in Turkey

The population in Turkey increased during the past year by 1.4%, with an increased rate of more than 1,115 thousand people in one year, meaning that the daily increase rate amounted to 3,153 people per day. 

In comparison to the population ten years ago, the population increase during this period amounted to about 14.6%, that is, an increase of more than 10 million and 500 thousand years. 

The population increase is calculated by counting the number of newborns in Turkey and the number of deaths and the difference between them is the rate of population increase, and the following is a table showing the numbers of Turkey's population during the past ten years:

The population of Turkey for the year 2020, which is presented on some statistical websites, is still not final, and if the population in Turkey maintains this percentage of annual increase, expectations indicate that the population of Turkey at the end of 2020 will reach about 84 million 400 thousand people.

Age groups of the population in Turkey

Turkey is a young country, and the number of young people in it has reached more than 31%, which is the total of young people in the age group between 20 to 40 years, meaning that one-third of Turkey's population is young, and this is a very high percentage. 

The editorial team at Fanar Realty has arranged for you the following statistical table, which divides the population of Turkey into age groups, based on official data on the age groups of the Turkish population in 2019:

The population of the Turkish states

To continue our conversation about the population of Turkey, in this paragraph we will talk about the population in each of the Turkish states, and we will make some important observations related to the population statistics in these states for the year 2019:

We note from the previous statistic:

• The population of Istanbul is equivalent to 66% of the total population of Turkey and is almost three times the population of Ankara, and six times the population of Antalya.

• Smallest population in Tunceli State

• The previous statistic reflects the extent of migration from small cities to large and vital cities such as Istanbul, Ankara, Antalya, Bursa, and others.

The relationship of the population of Turkey to the real estate market

Some may wonder why we wrote in Fanar Realty on the issue of the population in Turkey, even though we are a site specialized in real estate information, and in fact, the population is real estate information as well. How? 

One of the most important factors of movement in the real estate market in any country in the world is the population factor for several considerations Which:

• The greater the population in an area, the greater the demand for buying and renting real estate in it, and thus the greater the chances of success for real estate investment, and we are talking about the presence of 3125 daily increase in the population, which certainly reflects the presence of increasing desires to buy or rent real estate to accommodate the increase.

• The most important metrics for calculating real estate prices depend on the balance of demand and supply for real estate. The demand for real estate is definitely increasing in areas with a large annual increase in population.

• Also, measuring the movement of population migration and the cities they prefer to live in will make it easier for the real estate investor to choose the best area for his real estate investments.

• The more Turkey's population increases naturally, the greater the government's efforts to naturalize capital and owners of major real estate investments to benefit from them in raising the country's economic level, securing job opportunities for Turkish youth, and increasing the country's overall output.
