Population data in Kuwait up to June 2026 shows that approximately 27.7% of the total 5.31 million residents live in five main regions. The leading area is Salmiya with 358.8 thousand people, followed by Fahaheel with 310.6 thousand, Jleeb Al-Shuyukh with 285.5 thousand, Hawally with 257.8 thousand, and Mahbola with 257.2 thousand. Maps indicate that population concentration remains strong in the traditional areas, with new residential cities emerging in the north and south. For example, Al-Mutlaa has a population of 43.4 thousand, and Sabah Al-Ahmad City has surpassed 107 thousand residents, becoming one of the largest residential cities in the south, with an increasing portion of population growth shifting there. The southern regions, such as Manqaf, Fahaheel, and Sabah Al-Ahmad, stand out as the largest population centers, with their populations exceeding one million residents. Meanwhile, northern cities like Jaber Al-Ahmad, which has a population of 132.3 thousand, are expanding. These data reflect a shift in the population distribution map, with increasing numbers of residents living in new and diverse areas, while rural and traditional urban areas maintain stability.
