[[File:Historical_population_of_Germany.svg|right|thumb|391x391px|Historical population of Germany]]
The contemporary demographics of Germany used to also be measured by a series of full [[Census in Germany|censuses]] mandated by the state, with the most recent held in 1987. Since reunification, German authorities rely on a ''micro census''.
Demographic statistics according to the World Population Review.<ref name="WPR2018">{{citation |title=Germany Population 2018 |url=http://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/germany-population/ |website=World Population Review}}</ref> Due to the privacy concerns of the German population after reunification, Germany did not hold a regular census until the EU-mandated [[2011 German Census]]. The requirement was met with large disapproval. As required by the EU, Germany now continues to hold censuses every 10 years.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Fuhrmans |first=Vanessa |date=July 29, 2011 |title=Germans Tally Their Concerns Over Census |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303982504576423814268469244 |website=The Wall Street Journal}}</ref>
