===2011 census===
Even though the official population of Prague hovers around 1.3 million as of the [[2011 Czech census|2011 census]], the city's real population is much higher due to only 65% of its residents being marked as permanently living in the city.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.irozhlas.cz/zpravy-domov/data-z-mobilu-praha-se-denne-nafoukne-o-polovinu-v-centru-jsou-navstevnici-v_1704211045_miz |title=Data z mobilů: Praha se denně nafoukne o polovinu, v centru jsou návštěvníci v převaze |work=iROZHLAS |access-date=26 September 2018 |language=cs |archive-date=26 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180926131115/https://www.irozhlas.cz/zpravy-domov/data-z-mobilu-praha-se-denne-nafoukne-o-polovinu-v-centru-jsou-navstevnici-v_1704211045_miz |url-status=live}}</ref> Data taken from mobile phone movements around the city suggest that the real population of Prague is closer to 1.9 or 2.0 million, with an additional 300,000 to 400,000 commuters coming to the city on weekdays for work, education, or commerce.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.ekonomickymagazin.cz/2018/06/praha-by-mela-byt-planovana-jako-metropole-pro-dva-miliony-lidi/ |title=Praha by měla být metropole pro dva miliony lidí |work=Ekonomický Magazín |access-date=26 September 2018 |language=cs |archive-date=26 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180926130951/https://www.ekonomickymagazin.cz/2018/06/praha-by-mela-byt-planovana-jako-metropole-pro-dva-miliony-lidi/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

About 14% of the city's inhabitants were born outside the Czech Republic, the highest proportion in the country. However, 64.8% of the city's population self-identified as ethnically [[Czechs|Czech]], which is slightly higher than the national average of 63.7%. Almost 29% of respondents declined to answer the question on ethnicity at all, so it may be assumed that the real percentage of ethnic Czechs in Prague is considerably higher. The largest ethnic minority are [[Slovaks in the Czech Republic|Slovaks]], followed by Ukrainians and Russians.<ref name="auto">{{cite news |title=Census shows population rise in Prague |url=http://praguemonitor.com/2012/01/24/census-shows-population-rise-prague |publisher=Prague Daily Monitor |agency=Czech News Agency (ČTK) |date=24 January 2012 |access-date=16 April 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140416205818/http://praguemonitor.com/2012/01/24/census-shows-population-rise-prague |archive-date=16 April 2014}}</ref>
