2000Croatia in 2000
In 2000, Croatia had a total population of 4,326,104 people. A decade earlier, in 1990, the population was still 4,835,066; it has declined by 10.5% since.
Half of the population was younger than 39.6 years; 16.9% were children under 15 and 15.9% were 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
