About this chart

Few lines in this dataset climb as steeply as Angola's. The country had about 4.5 million people in 1950 and 6.8 million in 1975. By 2000 it was at 16.2 million, and by 2023 at 36.7 million, roughly eight times its 1950 size. Most of that growth came in the last quarter century, when the population more than doubled.

The UN medium projection keeps the line rising to the end of the century: about 74.3 million in 2050, 115.2 million in 2075 and 150.1 million in 2100, about four times the 2023 estimate. Angola's world rank would move from 70th in 1950 to 42nd in 2023, 27th in 2050 and 13th in 2100. Figures are from UN World Population Prospects 2024.
