Hanover is on the upswing: population will grow by 8,800 by 2035!

Signs point to growth in the Hanover region – despite slight declines in the surrounding area. A current population forecast shows that the state capital will increase by around 8,800 inhabitants in the next ten years, meaning that around 567,000 people will live in Hanover. Meanwhile, the surrounding communities must expect a loss of around 3,400 residents, meaning that a total of around 642,000 people will live there. These developments, summarized in a comprehensive population forecast report up to 2035, show that the region's total population remains stable, with an increase from 1.20 million to just under 1.21 million by 2035. Deister Echo reports that these positive figures are due to migration gains of 46,000 people are repatriated, with 40,100 of these immigrants coming to Hanover.

An interesting aspect is the excess number of deaths, which is 40,600 people in the region. Despite this challenge, Hanover recorded an increase of 1.6 percent, thanks to the positive migration balance. In the surrounding area, however, the situation looks different: While around 29,500 net people will be gained through immigration there, a higher death rate leads to a decline of 0.5 percent.

Growth points in the city and the surrounding area

If you look at the districts of Hanover, Bemerode stands out with an increase of 16 percent and Limmer with an increase of 18.7 percent. In the surrounding area, Seelze (+2 percent) and Langenhagen (+1.2 percent) are the big winners. This development shows that Hanover's appeal to both families and young people is obvious. Nevertheless, there is also an increase in seniors aged 65 and over in both areas - by around 13 percent in each case. The number of children and young people, however, is decreasing slightly.

The age structure in the region is changing, with the average age increasing from 44.2 to 44.6 years by 2035. These factors should not be underestimated. The forecasts give planners in the areas of daycare centers, schools, care services and housing construction important clues for the future. The full population forecast document is expected to be published in November 2025.
