Lisbon has 567,131 inhabitants within the administrative center on the area of only 100.05&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup><ref name="dgt" /> The population density of the city itself is {{cvt|5668.5|PD/sqkm}}.

The Lisbon metropolitan area incorporates two [[NUTS III]] (European statistical subdivisions): ''[[Grande Lisboa]]'' (Greater Lisbon), along the northern bank of the [[Tagus River]], and ''[[Península de Setúbal]]'' (Setúbal Peninsula), along the southern bank. These two subdivisions make for the ''[[Região de Lisboa]]'' (Lisbon Region).

Administratively defined cities that exist in the vicinity of the capital are in fact part of the metropolitan perimeter of Lisbon. The urban area has, according to Government data, a population of approximately 2.96 million inhabitants and is the eleventh largest urban area in the European Union.<ref name="World_Urban_Areas" /><ref name="Statistics Portugal - Web Portal"/> Other sources also show similar figures: according to the [[Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development]] the area had 2,797,612 inhabitants;<ref>[http://measuringurban.oecd.org/# Metro eXplorer] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150410082624/http://measuringurban.oecd.org/ |date=10 April 2015 }} – OECD</ref> according to the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the [[United Nations]] 2,890,000;<ref>[https://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/wup2007/2007WUP_Highlights_web.pdf World Urbanization Prospects] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170525185336/http://www.un.org/esa/population/publications/wup2007/2007WUP_Highlights_web.pdf |date=25 May 2017 }} – Department of Economic and Social Affairs, United Nations, 2007</ref> according to the European Statistical Office [[Eurostat]] 2,839,908<ref>[http://appsso.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/nui/show.do?dataset=met_pjanaggr3&lang=en "''Population by sex and age groups on 1 January''"] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160822103143/http://appsso.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/nui/show.do?dataset=met_pjanaggr3&lang=en |date=22 August 2016 }} – [[Eurostat]], 2012</ref> and according to the [[Brookings Institution]] 2,968,600.<ref>[http://www.brookings.edu/research/reports2/2015/01/22-global-metro-monitor 2014 Global Metro Monitor] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150321051346/http://www.brookings.edu/research/reports2/2015/01/22-global-metro-monitor |date=21 March 2015 }} – Brookings Institution, 2015</ref>

Lisbon's population has steadily dropped over the years due to people searching better accommodations for lower prices elsewhere in Greater Lisbon. A reverse trend has been observed in recent years, with the population increasing to 567,131 people in 2023, an all-time high since 2001 census and a 4.52% increase since the 2011 census.<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=População residente (N.º) por Local de residência (NUTS - 2013), Sexo e Grupo etário (Por ciclos de vida); Anual |url=https://www.ine.pt/xportal/xmain?xpid=INE&xpgid=ine_indicadores&indOcorrCod=0008272&contexto=bd&selTab=tab2}}</ref>

In addition, a plurality of the houses in the city centre have become tourist facilities, exacerbating the lack of offer in Lisbon's housing market.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Raposo |first=Frederico |date=7 August 2021 |title=Menos lares, mais alojamento local: como o centro histórico de Lisboa perdeu 8 mil habitantes em dez anos |url=http://amensagem.pt/2021/08/07/censos-centro-historico-lisboa-perde-oito-mil-habitantes-menos-lares-mais-alojamento-local-turismo/ |access-date=23 August 2023 |website=Mensagem de Lisboa |language=pt-PT}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=28 July 2021 |title=Lisboa perde 1,4 % de população.

The largest religion is, according to 2021 Portuguese Census, [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholicism]]. The proportion of Catholics in Lisbon city proper (around 66%) is significantly higher than in the city's metropolitan area (55%).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Grande Lisboa.

===Immigration===

In 2019 around 17.48% of the population residing within the city's boundaries held a foreign nationality, a share that stood at 8.87% in 2014. In general, the increase in Lisbon's population is essentially attributable to the influx of people coming from abroad, who have more than tripled since 2017. Around 5.89% of Lisbon's population was constituted by Brazilians as of 2023, not including those also holding Portuguese nationality.<ref>{{Cite web |title=População estrangeira com estatuto legal de residente (N.º) por Local de residência (NUTS - 2013) e Nacionalidade; Anual |url=https://www.ine.pt/xportal/xmain?xpid=INE&xpgid=ine_indicadores&contecto=pi&indOcorrCod=0000256&selTab=tab0}}</ref><ref name=":3" />
