According to data released by Statistics Estonia, the population of Estonia stood at 1,360,745 people as of January 1, 2026. This figure represents a decline of 9,250 individuals compared to the previous year, marking the second consecutive year that the national population, or rahvaarv, has decreased. Analyzing the demographic shifts, the data indicates that the number of recorded births was 9,240, while the number of deaths reached 15,688. Migration figures show that 15,212 people entered Estonia, while 18,014 people departed the country. The overall trend confirms a negative balance in the population structure. The total count of inimest reflects these complex movements—births, deaths, and net migration—all contributing to the observed reduction in the total rahvaarv. These statistics provide a snapshot of the demographic situation at the start of the year, illustrating a continued downward trend in the resident population base. The figures are crucial for understanding the country’s current demographic momentum and the factors influencing population stability. The reported decrease highlights significant outflows relative to the natural increase and immigration inflows.
