The population of Naples itself is around one million people.

The demographic profile for the Neapolitan province in general is quite young: 19% are under age 14, while 13% are over 65, compared to the national average of 14% and 19%, respectively.
There is a higher percentage of females with 52.4%, while males number 47.6% were male.
Naples currently has a higher birth rate than other parts of Italy with 10.46 births per 1,000 inhabitants compared to the Italian average of 9.45 births.
Unlike many northern Italian cities there are far fewer immigrants in Naples.
98.5% of the people are Italians.
In 2006, there were a total of 19,188 foreigners in the actual city of Naples; the majority of foreigners are Eastern European, coming particularly from the Ukraine and Poland.
Non-Europeans in general are very low in number, however there are some small Sri Lankan and East Asian immigrant communities.
Statistics show that the vast majority of immigrants are female; this is because male workers tend to head North.
