Germany's population grew by 1.12 million, or 1.3 percent, to 84.4 million in 2022, after a meager 0.1 percent increase the year before. It was the largest annual surge in population numbers since the country's reunification over three decades ago, primarily attributed to a notable influx of 1.46 million individuals through net immigration mainly caused by the refugee movements from Ukraine. This represented a significant increase compared to the 329 thousand recorded in 2021. Similar to previous years, the number of deaths exceeded the number of births in 2022. The disparity between deaths and births further widened to 327 thousand, compared to 228 thousand in 2021. The regions that saw the largest population increases were North Rhine-Westphalia (up 214.5 thousand), Bayern (up 192.4 thousand), and Baden-Württemberg (up 155.6 thousand). source: Federal Statistical Office
