Icelandâs population increased by 1% since last year, and about 12% of those living here come from abroad, Statistics Iceland reveals in a new report. According to the report, released yesterday, the current population of Iceland is 329,100, up by 1% (3,429 people, to be exact) from last year. The largest municipality remains ReykjavÃ­k, where 121,822 people live, while the smallest is Helgafellssveit, in SnÃ¦fellsnes, which is home to 53 people.
ReykjavÃ­k [106] is the capital and largest city of Iceland and with an urban area population of around 200,000, it is the home of the vast majority of Iceland's inhabitants. It is the centre of culture and life of the Icelandic people as well as being one of the focal points of tourism in Iceland. The city itself is spread out, with sprawling suburbs. The city centre, however, is a very small area characterized by eclectic and colourful houses, with good shopping, dining, and drinking.
