Thanks to steady but constant and stable growth after the war, today's built-up area includes not only previously mentioned urban municipalities but the urban part of [[Hadžići]] that is uninterruptedly connected to [[Ilidža]], the westernmost part of the Sarajevo urban settlement, is inhabited by more than 419,000 people, while [[Sarajevo metropolitan area|the metro area]] including 8 additional municipalities, 14 in total goes up to 555,210 inhabitants.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.zpr.ks.gov.ba/preuzimanja/publikacije |url-status=live |title=Publikacije i bilteni |publisher=Zavod za planiranje razvoja Kantona Sarajevo |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200706141906/https://www.zpr.ks.gov.ba/preuzimanja/publikacije |archive-date=6 July 2020 |access-date=5 July 2020}}</ref> It is noticeable that the fastest-growing municipalities are [[Novi Grad, Sarajevo|Novi Grad]], one of the main ones and the most inhabited one where the population has increased by almost 4,000 people or 2.95% since the [[2013 population census in Bosnia and Herzegovina|2013 census]], and Ilidža that has recorded an increase of almost 7% since 2013.<ref name="fsz canton 2020"/>

In June 2016, the final results of the 2013 census were published. According to the census, the population of the [[Sarajevo Canton]] was 413,593, with 55,181 residents in [[Centar, Sarajevo|Centar]], 118,553 in Novi Grad, 64,814 in [[Novo Sarajevo]] and 36,976 in [[Stari Grad, Sarajevo|Stari Grad]].<ref name=Popis2013>{{cite web |title=Census of population, households and dwellings in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2013: Final results |url=http://www.popis2013.ba/popis2013/doc/Popis2013prvoIzdanje.pdf |publisher=Agency for Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina |date=June 2016 |access-date=6 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171224103940/http://www.popis2013.ba/popis2013/doc/Popis2013prvoIzdanje.pdf |archive-date=24 December 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

The last official Yugoslav census took place in [[1991 population census in Bosnia and Herzegovina|1991]] and recorded 527,049 people living in the city of Sarajevo (ten [[municipality|municipalities]]). In the settlement of Sarajevo proper, there were 454,319 inhabitants.<ref>Population density and urbanization.

The war changed the ethnic and religious profile of the city.

According to academic Fran Markowitz, there are several "administrative apparatuses and public pressures that push people who might prefer to identify as flexible, multiply constituted hybrids or with one of the now unnamed minority groups into one of the three Bosniac-Croat-Serb constituent nations".{{sfn|Markowitz|2007|p=57}} These include respondents being encouraged by census interviewers to identify as belonging to one of the three [[Ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina|constituent peoples]].{{sfn|Markowitz|2007|p=69}} Her analysis of marriage registration data shows, for instance, that 67 percent of people marrying in 2003 identified as Bosniak or Muslim, which is significantly lower than the 79.6 percent census figure from 2002 (unlike the census, where people respond to an interviewer, applicants to the marriage registry fill in the form themselves).
