What is the population of Kabul?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

UN Data lists Kabul’s capital-city population at about 4.114 million for 2025, but the result depends on the boundary and estimation method used.

What the figure or term means

“Kabul” can mean the city, municipality, urban agglomeration, district, or province.

Search results often mix these geographies and produce apparently conflicting numbers.

Fast population change and return movements add uncertainty.

State the geographic definition instead of publishing a bare “Kabul population” number.

How to use this information responsibly

Population and humanitarian figures are estimates tied to a source, reference period, method, and denominator. Famidi keeps the date visible and links to the underlying release.

A national estimate explains scale; it does not identify which specific household needs assistance or prove the result of one charity program.
