Morocco Population Live (2026)
The live population of Morocco, updated every second — with births today, deaths today, growth rate and key facts about one of the most interesting countries on Earth.
Morocco has an estimated population of about 37.1 million people in 2026 — 0.45% of the roughly 8.25 billion people on Earth, and the 37th largest of the 72 countries tracked on LiveHumans. The counter above starts from our 1 January 2026 estimate and adds births and subtracts deaths every second, using Morocco's latest birth rate (17.4 per 1,000 people a year) and death rate (6.1 per 1,000).
Is the population of Morocco growing?
Yes. Around 1,767 babies are born in Morocco every day — about 74 an hour — while around 620 people die. That leaves a natural increase of roughly 1,148 people a day, or about 418,965 a year: a growth rate of 1.13% before migration. If that rate held steady, it would take about 62 years for the population to double — though in most countries growth slows over time as families get smaller.
A birth rate of 17.4 per 1,000 people is close to the world average of about 16.9. Family sizes have been falling, but there are still many young adults of child-bearing age. It ranks 23rd of 72 for birth rate on LiveHumans.
These figures count births and deaths only. Migration moves Morocco's real population up or down each year, which is why official census figures can differ from our estimate.
Births and deaths in Morocco
| Period | Births | Deaths | Net change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per minute | 1.2 | 0.4 | 0.8 |
| Per hour | 74 | 26 | 48 |
| Per day | 1,767 | 620 | 1,148 |

How crowded is Morocco?
With about 37.1 million people living on 446,550 km², Morocco has roughly 83.0 people per square kilometre. That is above the world average of about 61 per km² (40th of 72 for density).
Life expectancy in Morocco
A baby born in Morocco today can expect to live about 74 years, compared with a world average of about 73.3. That is close to the global average (48th of 72). Life expectancy here has risen steadily over the past few decades as child mortality has fallen. Want a personal estimate? Try our life expectancy calculator.
Income and population
With GDP of about $3,819 per person (53rd of 72), Morocco is a lower-income country. As incomes, education and access to healthcare rise, birth rates almost always fall — which is why the UN expects growth here to slow over the coming decades.

How we calculate Morocco's live population
No country counts its people every second, so this page is an estimate. We start from a population figure for 1 January 2026 based on United Nations and World Bank data, then use Morocco's crude birth rate and crude death rate — the number of births and deaths per 1,000 people per year — to work out how many people are born and die each second. The counter simply adds those up in real time. Because migration is not included, and because rates change from year to year, treat the figure as a close estimate rather than an exact count.
Frequently asked questions

How accurate is this Morocco population counter?
It is a statistical estimate, not a live headcount. We start from a 1 January 2026 population estimate based on UN and World Bank data and apply Morocco's annual birth and death rates second by second. Migration is not included, so official figures may differ slightly.
