Regardless of its geographic localization on the national territory, the population comprises 16.463.634 city-dwellers against 13.428.074 countrymen, i.e. an urbanization rate amounting to 55,1 %. The annual average rate of demographic growth is 1,4 % against 2,1 % between 1982 and 1994.Around the third of the population is concentrated in the regions of the Great Casablanca (3,6 million),

 

 Souss-Massa-Draa (3,1 million) and Marrakesh-Tensift-Al Haouz (3,1 million). The rest of the population is distributed according to proportions varying between 0,3 % in Oued Eddahab-Lagouira and 8,3 % in Tangier-Tetouan.
