Which Gdynia population is this?
| Gdynia city area (Eurostat) | 241,189 (2023, estimate) This figure |
|---|---|
| Metro population (city plus commuting zone) | Not in our data yet |
This is Eurostat's "city" area: the local administrative unit or units where most people live in the urban centre. It is a different definition from a metro area (a city plus its commuting zone). Municipal, greater-city and metro populations are different ways of defining an area, not a population time series. We have not linked a municipal or metro population to this page; adding one needs a verified area relationship and data approved for display.

Gdynia FAQ
How many people live in Gdynia?
Eurostat reports 241,189 residents in the city of Gdynia on 1 January 2023 (estimate).
Is this the metro-area population of Gdynia?
This is the figure for the city of Gdynia. We have not linked a metro-area population to this page. Eurostat defines a metro area (functional urban area) as a city plus its commuting zone.
Why do other sites show a different population for Gdynia?
Population figures depend on the area counted (the municipality, a wider greater-city area, or the whole metro area) and on the year. Many sites also show projections for the current year. This page shows the newest population figure in our Eurostat data, for 1 January 2023.
About this page's data
Every figure on this page comes from Eurostat's City Statistics, the EU's official statistics for cities. National statistical offices supply most figures. This page lists 11 of the figures Eurostat publishes for the city of Gdynia. Each figure carries its own year, and years differ, so the page is not a ranking or a like-for-like comparison with other cities.
Eurostat and the national statistical offices define the exact area of the city of Gdynia; this site does not yet publish a boundary map.
The page name is the label Eurostat uses for this area: Gdynia (Eurostat provider code PL053C).
Updated September 2026: we last refreshed these figures from Eurostat on 1 September 2026. Each one is the newest figure we can show for this area from that data, and each shows its own year. Reporting dates and availability vary by area and indicator.
Missing figures stay missing. We never fill a gap with a regional or national average. We plan to add which country the area is in and a map, climate and metropolitan-area population once each has passed its own source and rights review.
