- Abstract
Total resident population (absolute values).
The amount of population usually resident in a specified geographic area (municipality). As of 2013, the Alps were inhabited by 14,232,088 people on a 190,717 sq. km territory, with an average population density of 74.6 inhabitants per sq. km. This makes the Alps one of the less populated areas in central Europe (although countries such as Greece and Ireland have similar population densities) but also one of the most densely inhabited mountain areas in the world (Permanent Secretariat of the Alpine Convention, 2007). The countries that contribute the most in percentage terms to the overall Alpine population are Italy (30.7%) and Austria (23.3%). France accounts for 18.9% of the Alpine population, Followed by Switzerland (13.6%), Germany (10.4%) and Slovenia (2.7%). Monaco and Liechtenstein, being also in terms of surface by far the smallest Alpine countries contribute with percentages below 1%.
