  According to the 2011 census by the Polish Central Statistical Office, at the end of 2011 Poland had a population of 38,538,447, which translates into an average population density of 123 people/km². 61.5% of the Polish population lives in urban areas, a number which is slowly diminishing. Poland is the 37th most populous country in the world. Total population of Poland is almost stagnant. In 2018, the average life expectancy was 77.9 years; 74.1 for men and 82 for women. Population distribution is uneven. Ethnically, Poland is a very homogeneous country, with 96.7% of population being Polish.
  A number of censuses have assessed this data, including a national census in 2002, and a survey by the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, which confirmed there are numerous autochthonous ethnic groups in Poland.
