What the Data Shows
The City of Zagreb had an estimated 774,225 residents at mid-2024, compared with 3,866,233 in Croatia. Both counts come from the same DZS estimate release and observation date. Zagreb therefore contained 20.0% of Croatia’s estimated population. The result refers to the administrative City of Zagreb rather than a wider metropolitan area.
