However, the total number of the population of Bulgaria decreased by 34,774 people in just one year and on December 31, 2022 it was 6,447 million. For every 1,000 men there are 1,080 women.
Bulgaria and Latvia have the highest mortality rate among the countries of the European Union - 18.4. The lowest are Ireland - 6.8, and Luxembourg - 7, according to the NSI research.
The number of Bulgarian citizens over 65 is 1.515 million, which is an increase of 0.1% in just one year. Their share is the largest in Vidin, Gabrovo and Kyustendil regions, and the smallest - in Sofia city, Varna and Blagoevgrad. Only Italy and Portugal have older populations in the EU.
