Population of Singapore (City-State)

As of 2022, Singapore's total resident population was 5.64 million (Department of Statistics Singapore), comprising:

• Citizens: 3.55M (63%)
• Permanent Residents: 0.52M (9%)
• Non-Residents (work passes, students, dependents): 1.56M (28%)

Key Context:

• Singapore is a city-state—the entire country is urban; there is no distinction between "capital city" and "country" population.
• Land area: 734 km² (reclaimed); density: ~7,700/km² (3rd highest globally).
• Population peaked at 5.70M (2019), dipped during COVID (non-resident outflow), recovering.
• Median age: 42.5; TFR: 1.04 (2022) – among world's lowest.
