The population density in Upper Bavaria was 238 inhabitants per km2 in 2003. The poluation increased by 12% after 1990 to reach 4 173 325 in 2003.
The conurbation of Munich, which is home to some 2.5 million people, or 60% of the population of Upper Bavaria, is recording growth rates above the average as a result of migration from other regions of Bavaria, other parts of the Federal Republic and abroad. The share of foreigners in the total population has reached 23.8% in Munich and 13.5% in the Regierungsbezirk as a whole. The net migration rate has created problems for Munich (an accommodation shortage and high rents).
