Population census in the Czech Republic – foreigners increase the number of inhabitants in the CR

The population of the Czech Republic is now bigger than in 2001 due to foreigners. In 2001, the population of the CR counted 10,230,060 people, and now it is 10,562,214 people. The statisticians who examined the results of the 2011 Population and Housing Census claim that this growth is caused by the rising birth rate, but concede that it is mainly due to the migration of foreigners, whose population in the Czech Republic has risen by 360.5% in comparison with 2001 (there were 124,668 foreigners in 2001, now they total 449,450 people).
