From 2019 to 2025, the population of Milan has decreased by almost 30,000 inhabitants. The peak was reached in 2020, when more than 1.4 million people lived in the city, after which the decreasing trend started. In 2025, there were 1.36 million inhabitants. This trend can be explained by the fact that many residents may be willing to move to neighboring municipalities to cope with the increasing cost of living, which has affected the city recently. Despite this slight fall, Milan remains the second-largest city in Italy, after Rome and before Naples.
