The [[Kosovo Agency of Statistics]] monitors various demographic features of the population of [[Kosovo]], such as [[population density]], [[Ethnic group|ethnicity]], education level, health of the populace, economic status, [[Religion in Kosovo|religious affiliations]] and other aspects of the population. [[Census]]es, normally conducted at ten-year intervals, record the demographic characteristics of the population. The latest census started on 5th of April 2024 and according to the preliminary results, the Republic of Kosovo has 1,586,659 inhabitants, of which 795,046 are men (50.1%) and 791,614 are women (49.9%).<ref name=PreliminaryData2024>{{Cite web |title=The preliminary data of the Census of Population, Family Economies and Housing in Kosovo are published – Zyra e Kryeministrit |url=https://kryeministri.rks-gov.net/en/blog/the-preliminary-data-of-the-census-of-population-family-economies-and-housing-in-kosovo-are-published/ |access-date=2024-08-24 |website=kryeministri.rks-gov.net}}</ref> The same year, [[The World Factbook|US CIA World Factbook]] estimate put the country's population at 1,977,093.<ref name="CIA" /> According to the first census conducted after the [[2008 Kosovo declaration of independence|2008 declaration of independence]] in 2011, the permanent population of Kosovo was 1,810,366.<ref name="esk">{{cite web|url=http://esk.rks-gov.net/rekos2011/?cid=1,92|title=Agjencia e Statistikave të Kosovës -|website=Esk.rks-gov.net|access-date=29 August 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131125230339/http://esk.rks-gov.net/rekos2011/?cid=1,92|archive-date=25 November 2013}}</ref>

==Ethnic groups==
The official results of the censuses in Kosovo after [[World War II]] are tabulated below. The figures for Albanians in the 1991 census were estimates only, since that census was boycotted by most Albanians. Similarly, the figures for Serbs in the 2011 census omit those in [[North Mitrovica]], [[Leposavić]], [[Zubin Potok]] and [[Zvečan]] ([[North Kosovo]]), while the number of Serbs and Romani in the rest of Kosovo is also deemed unreliable, due to the partial [[boycott]].<ref name="ECMI"/>

[[Image:Kosovo ethnic 2005.png|right|thumb|250px|Ethnic composition of Kosovo in 2005 according to the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]]]]
The 2000 Living Standard Measurement Survey by Statistical Office of Kosovo found an ethnic composition of the population as follows:

* 92% [[Albanians]]
* 8% others

A more comprehensive (October 2002) estimate (for the 1.9 million inhabitants) for these years:
* 92% [[Albanians]]
* 4% [[Serbs]]
* 4% [[Bosniaks]], [[Turkish people|Turks]], [[Romani people|Romani]] and others

During the [[Kosovo War]] in 1999, around 700,000 ethnic Albanians,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/336728.stm|title=BBC News – World – Kosovo Albanians: Who's left?|website=News.bbc.co.uk|access-date=29 August 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061222070140/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/336728.stm|archive-date=22 December 2006}}</ref> over 100,000 ethnic Serbs and more than 40,000 Bosniaks were forced out of Kosovo to neighbouring [[Albania]], [[North Macedonia]], [[Montenegro]], [[Bosnia]] and [[Serbia]].
After the [[United Nations]] [[UN-administered Kosovo|took over administration of Kosovo]] following the war, the vast majority of the Albanian refugees returned.{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}}
The largest diaspora communities of Kosovo Albanians are in [[Switzerland]] and [[Austria]] accounting for some 200,000 individuals each, or for 20% of the population resident in Kosovo.

Many non-Albanians&nbsp;– chiefly [[Serbs]] and [[Romani people|Romani]]&nbsp;– fled or were expelled, mostly to the rest of Serbia at the end of the war, with further refugee outflows occurring as the result of sporadic ethnic violence. As of 2002, the number of registered refugees was around 250,000.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.srbija.gov.rs/coordination_centre/index.html |title=Coordination Centre of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Republic of Serbia for Kosovo and Metohija |access-date=2008-02-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120427211140/http://www.srbija.gov.rs/coordination_centre/index.html |archive-date=27 April 2012}}</ref><ref>[[UNHCR]]: 2002 Annual Statistical Report: Serbia and Montenegro, p. 9</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.refugees.org/world/countryrpt/europe/yugoslavia.htm|title=USCR: Country Information: Yugoslavia|date=29 October 2004|access-date=29 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041029061224/http://www.refugees.org/world/countryrpt/europe/yugoslavia.htm|archive-date=29 October 2004}}</ref> The non-Albanian population in Kosovo is now about half of its pre-war total{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}}.

==Languages==
[[File:Kosovo-2011-Language.GIF|thumb|Linguistic structure according to the 2011 census]]
{{see also|Minority languages of Kosovo}}
As defined by the [[Constitution of Kosovo]], [[Albanian language|Albanian]] and [[Serbian language|Serbian]] are official languages in Kosovo. According to the 2011 census, almost 95% of the citizens speak Albanian as their native language, followed by [[South Slavic languages]] and [[Turkish language|Turkish]]. Due to North Kosovo's boycott of the census, [[Bosnian language|Bosnian]] came in as the second-largest language after Albanian. However, Serbian is in reality the second-most spoken language in Kosovo.

==Internally displaced persons==
According to the US CIA, {{as of|2022|lc=y}}, there were 16000 internally displaced persons, primarily Serbs displaced during the [[Kosovo War]].<ref name="CIA" /> Also, a smaller number of Serbs, Roma, Ashkali, and Egyptians fled their homes in 2004 as a result of violence.<ref name="CIA" />
