Analysis# Paraguay Population Analysis
Paraguay's population of 6.93 million in 2024 represents a 14.16% increase over the past decade, translating to an average annual growth rate of approximately 1.33%—notably slower than the nation's peak growth decade in the 1980s when expansion was substantially higher.

The 64-year dataset (1960–2024) reveals a nation that has matured demographically while still maintaining population growth above global average rates,
