Monaco, the small sovereign city-state on the French Riviera, has experienced steady population growth over the past several decades, despite its limited land area of just over 2 square kilometers. As of 2024, Monaco's population is estimated to be around 39,000 residents, making it one of the most densely populated countries in the world. The population increase is largely driven by its reputation as a tax haven, luxurious lifestyle, and political stability, which attract wealthy individuals from around the globe. However, due to strict residency requirements and limited space for new development, the rate of population growth has slowed in recent years, with much of the change coming from migration rather than natural increase.
