Tehran's Growing Population

Tehran's population now estimated at 9,616,007

Tehran's population has grown by 116,226 in the last year

Tehran, the capital of Iran, has seen a steady increase in its population over the past several decades. In 1950, the population of Tehran was 1,041,349. By 2024, the population is estimated to have reached 9,616,007, a growth of over 116,226 in the last year alone.

This growth is largely due to the city's economic and political importance. Tehran is the center of Iran's government and economy, and it is home to many of the country's largest businesses and industries.

The growth of Tehran's population has led to a number of challenges for the city, including traffic congestion, air pollution, and a shortage of housing. The city is also facing a number of social problems, such as crime and poverty.

Despite these challenges, Tehran remains a vibrant and dynamic city. It is a major cultural and educational center, and it is home to a number of historical and architectural landmarks.
