Inhabitants of Milan 2019-2023
From 2019 to 2023, the population of Milan has decreased by 37,560 inhabitants. The peak was reached in 2020, when more than 1.4 million people lived in the city, after which the decreasing trend started. This trend can be explained by the fact that many residents may be willing to move to neighboring municipalities to cope with the increasing cost of living, which has affected the city recently. Despite this slight fall, Milan remains the second-largest city in Italy, after Rome and before Naples.
