Critical data analysis
Since the 2008 census, we have had no access to data
from Algeria on population density and distribution. In the meantime, there
have been two further (of four) territorial reforms, as well as significant
population growth. In 2019, 10 additional provinces were defined (this
territorial structure is shown on the map), and another 11 in 2025. No
geographical representations or descriptions could be found for the
provinces established in 2025; these are to be published in the future in
the official information provided by the Algerian government.
However, an analysis of the population structure
already shows population data for the 11 new provinces, which is also
unclear in the table. It is unclear whether this data – population and area
– has been deducted from the data of the previously divided provinces or
not. The area data differs from previous data (50%), at least in terms of
the total area of the country.
However, we have decided to publish the data despite
these contradictions, as the population growth since 2008 – approximately
17% – is plausible, at least for the provinces that existed until 2019.
As soon as accurate official data is available, the
data presented here will be updated.
