Turkey Provinces by Population | 1927–2026 Explore how the population of Turkey’s provinces changed from 1927 to 2026 in this animated bar chart race. This visualization compares the population of Turkish provinces over nearly 100 years, including Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa, Antalya, Konya, Şanlıurfa, Adana, Gaziantep, Kocaeli, Mersin, Diyarbakır, Hatay, Manisa, Kayseri, Samsun, Balıkesir, Tekirdağ, Aydın and many more. Watch how Turkey’s demographic landscape transformed through rapid urbanization, industrialization, internal migration, economic development and the growth of major metropolitan areas. See Istanbul expand from fewer than one million people in the early Republican era to become by far the country’s largest province, while Ankara, Izmir, Bursa and Antalya also experienced remarkable long-term growth. The animation also shows important historical changes in Turkey’s administrative structure. Some provinces were created, abolished, merged or renamed over time, including historical provinces such as Cebelibereket, Şebinkarahisar, İçel (Silifke) and Çoruh. Population growth slowed significantly during the World War II period, and several provinces experienced temporary population declines between the 1940 and 1945 censuses. In later decades, migration toward Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa, Antalya and other major economic centers reshaped Turkey’s population distribution. Historical census years are based on official population records, while values between benchmark years are estimated or interpolated to create a continuous annual visualization. The latest 2026 figures are estimates based on recent population trends. Which Turkish province grew the fastest? How did Istanbul become Turkey’s largest province?
