North Korea’s total population stood around 24 million as of late October.

That’s according to U.N. Population Fund survey statistics reported by Radio Free Asia on Saturday.

The report said the population comprised of eleven-point-seven million men and 12-point-three million women.

By region, North Pyeongan Province had the highest population with some four million followed by Pyongang with three-point-two million and North Hamgyeong Province with some three million.

Meanwhile, the population in northernmost mountain regions of Jagang Province and Ryangang Province stood at some two million, or only eight percent of the North’s population.

The recent population survey was conducted last October on some six million households in the North, excluding military facilities.
