while the other parishes saw more modest
increases, between 1.3% and 2%. In absolute
terms, Andorra la Vella is still the parish with
most growth (+451 more inhabitants), followed
by Canillo, Encamp and La Massana (around

Canillo is the parish where the
population grew most in relative terms.
2022

In Andorra la Vella, the most populated parish
in the Principality, population growth was
2%, so its percentage of the total estimated
population of Andorra continues to decline,
slowly but constantly, as recorded since
2014, to reach 28.6%, the lowest level in the
available historical series. In contrast, Canillo
is still the least-populated parish (6.3%), 31
despite the population dynamic it has seen in
recent years, which has greatly reduced the

populated parish, Ordino (65 people, according
to estimated population figures).

As for population change, the natural population increase in Andorra in 2022 was only 131
people, slightly higher than the previous year, but still well below pre-pandemic figures. This is the
result of constantly low numbers of births (502), accompanied by falling numbers of deaths (to
371), after these reached a historic high in 2020. So, the population dynamics seen in Andorra in
2022 can largely be explained by the positive balance of migration (+1,922 individuals), calculated
from the estimated population. In total, the estimated population saw a net increase of 2,053
