Live births, deaths and natural population change in Croatia; persons, 2024.
Croatia registered 32,069 live births and 51,080 deaths in 2024. The two event totals come from the same DZS vital-statistics release. Deaths exceeded births by 19,011, or about 1.59 deaths for every birth. The natural decrease means the country’s recent total population growth depends on migration rather than births exceeding deaths.

| 2 | Deaths | 51,080 | 2024 |

Evidence: Supports the 2024 live-birth, death and natural-change totals.
Natural change covers births minus deaths only. It does not include net migration and therefore does not equal total population change.
Uses the national registered live-birth and death totals from one DZS release and verifies natural change by subtraction.
All three figures refer to Croatia in calendar year 2024 and come from the same DZS release.
