Andorra, a small landlocked microstate located in the Pyrenees between France and Spain, has seen remarkable demographic changes over the past seven decades. With its population shaped by migration, tourism-driven economic growth, and demographic transitions, Andorra’s numbers have fluctuated much more than those of larger nations.
Algeria’s Historical Population Growth (1950–2024)
Andorra’s demographic growth was particularly striking in the second half of the 20th century:
- 1950–1970: The population more than tripled, from 6,000 to 20,000, driven by immigration and economic expansion.
- 1970–1990: Growth accelerated further, reaching 53,000 by 1990.
- 1990s–2009: Rapid expansion continued, fueled by tourism and services, peaking at 84,000 in 2009.
- 2010–2015: A decline followed, falling to 72,000 by 2015, largely due to economic slowdown and reduced immigration.
- 2016–2024: Recovery was modest, with population rising again to 82,000 in 2024.
