Population

In 2019, almost half of the population lives in the two towns on the territory of the Municipality of Sozopol - 49.5%, while in the 10 villages of the municipality live 50.5% of the residents.

The population density in Sozopol Municipality is more than twice the national average and slightly more than twice the average for Burgas Region. While the average population density at the national and district level is decreasing in 2019 compared to 2015, the population density in the municipality is showing an albeit insignificant increase of 1.1%.

The values of the indicators revealing the trends in the ongoing processes of birth and death of the population are in direct relation to the influence of a number of factors of socio-economic and demographic nature. The values of these indicators should be considered in the context of their role as a 'direct reflection' of the living environment (standard of living and quality of life, education, access to health care, social stability), as well as of the characteristics of the reproductive attitudes of the population.
