Hong Kong's population was 7,527,500 in the middle of the year, remaining virtually unchanged from a year earlier, the Census & Statistics Department announced today.

A net inflow of 18,200 Hong Kong residents was recorded during the period from mid-2024 to mid-2025.

There were 35,200 births and 50,000 deaths, resulting in a natural decrease of 14,800.

The Government pointed out that Hong Kong continues to benefit from various measures on talent attraction and labour importation.

It noted that over the past few years, many people have moved to Hong Kong from the Mainland and other places around the world. This has offset the impact of natural population decrease, stabilising the overall population in mid-2025, which increased by over 0.18 million compared to mid-2022.
