How many inhabitants does Germany have?

Germany’s population is approximately 84 million (about 84–84.5 million in recent statistics), making it the most populous country in the European Union. The other figures are either outdated or too high for current estimates.

• Recall that Germany has the largest population in the EU, slightly above the low-80-million range.
• Eliminate options that are clearly too low (historical figures) or too high compared to recent estimates.
• Use order-of-magnitude checks: Germany is well above 70 million but below 90 million.
• If unsure, think of recent news or census updates that often cite a figure around the mid-80 millions.
