Statistics Iceland has developed a new method for population statistics. Until now, population statistics have been based only on registration of legal residence in the national register. The new method is founded on a broader base of register data, tax data and data on students in addition to the national register. The results show that the population of Iceland 1 January 2024 was overestimated by 15,245 thousand people. This overestimation is due to an increase in immigration from EEA countries.
