A new profile of Monaco’s residents has revealed a stable yet incredibly diverse population of 145 nationalities from around the world. Monegasques themselves represent a quarter of all residents, but who are the remaining 75% who have made the Principality their home?
In 2024, 38,423 individuals were recorded as official Monaco residents. This is a mere 0.1% increase from the previous year, equating to an increase of just 56 people.
Some 145 different nationalities make up the population, with native Monegasques being the largest group. According to data from the 2024 census, there were 9,262 Monegasques living in the Principality last year, a figure that represents just under 25% of the overall population.
The next largest group to make their home in Monaco are the French, who accounted for 21.8% of the Principality’s residents in 2024. Then come the Italians at 19.5%, followed by the British at 7.6%.
The remaining Top 10 best-represented nationalities in Monaco are the Swiss, Russians, Belgians, Germans, Portuguese and Dutch.
When looking at the data for newcomers to the Principality, the figures collated by IMSEE, Monaco’s statistical agency, indicate that the primary movers since 2022 have been French nationals. Just over 30% of the adults who have moved to Monaco in the last three years are originally from France, 15% are British and 9.4% are Italian.
The average age of a Monaco resident, including Monegasques, was 47.3 years in 2024: 46.6 for men and 47.9 for women. The largest age group was the 50 to 64 category (23.5%), followed by 65 to 79 (18.1%) and 35 to 49 (17%).
Incredibly, nearly one in 10 Monaco residents is over the age of 80, a healthy reflection of data published earlier this year that suggests people from Monaco may be living longer than anywhere else in the world.
Just over half of all adults living in Monaco are married.
