As of 1 January 2021, The Hague counts 549,163 inhabitants, making it the third-largest city in the Netherlands. Between 1800 and 1960, the city saw considerable growth from 40,000 in 1800 to 200,000 in 1900 and eventually 600,000 in 1960. The growth following 1900 was partially caused by the housing act of 1901, which stimulated the expansion of cities such as The Hague. In the period between 1960 and 1980, The Hague saw a shrinkage from 600,000 to 440,000 inhabitants, caused mostly by spatial policy, demographic processes, and lack of space. After several annexations and housing constructions, The Hague has since grown again, celebrating its 500,000th inhabitant in 2011. The municipality expects the growth to continue to just over 600,000 inhabitants by 2030.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://denhaag.incijfers.nl/Jive?workspace_guid=c2afd650-eebf-4a7c-a24d-692a114c1edb |title=Aantal personen prognose WBP - Gemeenten |website=Den Haag in Cijfers |access-date=7 February 2022 |language=nl}}</ref>

The demonym of The Hague officially is ''Hagenaar'', but the term ''Hagenees'' is informally used for someone who was born and raised in The Hague.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Stam |first1=Niek |title=Kaakstand maakt verschil tussen Hagenaar en Hagenees |url=https://www.rd.nl/vandaag/binnenland/kaakstand-maakt-verschil-tussen-hagenaar-en-hagenees-1.358927 |access-date=15 July 2018 |work=Reformatorisch Dagblad |date=17 December 2013 |language=nl |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180716025320/https://www.rd.nl/vandaag/binnenland/kaakstand-maakt-verschil-tussen-hagenaar-en-hagenees-1.358927 |archive-date=16 July 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref> The usage of these demonyms appears to be class-bound, with Hagenaar being the upper-class term and Hagenees being that of the lower-class.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Jaspers |first1=Klaartje |title=Den Haag: uitvergrote versie van Keeping Up Appearances? |url=https://www.haacs.nl/identiteit-den-haag-keeping-up-appearances/ |access-date=15 July 2018 |work=HAACS |date=30 March 2016 |language=nl |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180716030542/https://www.haacs.nl/identiteit-den-haag-keeping-up-appearances/ |archive-date=16 July 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Just under half of The Hague's population identifies with a religious group. The two most popular religions are [[Christianity]] (29%) and Islam (14.1%). Religiosity is higher among people with a recent [[migration background]] from Indonesia, Turkey, Morocco and Surinam. Islam is the most common religion among people with a Turkish or Moroccan migration background. Among people of Surinamese heritage there is more religious diversity, with Hinduism being the most common. Of The Hague's native Dutch population, most religious people adhere to Christianity. Just under 40% of the population of The Hague regularly attends a house of worship.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.denhaag.nl/home/bewoners/to/Burgerschapsmonitor-2009.htm |title = Burgerschapsmonitor (2009) |date = 28 September 2009 |website = DenHaag.nl |access-date = 25 November 2013 |language = nl |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131202222237/http://www.denhaag.nl/home/bewoners/to/Burgerschapsmonitor-2009.htm |archive-date = 2 December 2013 |url-status = dead }}</ref>
