The calculation of the resident population has rebooted from the 2011 census, adding to the population censused on 9 October 2011 the enrolments and the cancellations recorded, in the population registers of the 8,092 Italian municipalities, from 9 October to 31 December 2011, plus the ones recorded during years 2012 and 2013.

During 2013 the real increase of the residing population, due to natural and migration balance, was very low (+30,068 units, +0.1%).

After the population census the municipalities have completed the operations of revision of the population registers which, during the year 2013, have resulted in a balance due to adjustments equal to +1,067,373 units (of which 370,194 strangers), corresponding to over 97.3% of the total population increase in 2013 and to 69.3% of the foreign population. The total resident population increased by 1,097,441 units (+1.8%).
