List of most-populated cities

This table lists the most populous cities and towns in Tunisia according to municipal (commune-level) populations from the General Population and Housing Census (RGPH) 2024 by the Institut national de la statistique (INS), as compiled in demographic sources.[1] Populations refer to city proper boundaries; metropolitan/urban agglomeration areas are significantly larger (e.g., Greater Tunis exceeds 2.5 million).[2]

Note: Figures are from the 2024 RGPH census (municipal level); some (e.g., Bizerte) use aligned estimates where exact commune data is aggregated differently. Full INS commune breakdowns are in governorate reports on ins.tn.[4] For metropolitan views, sources like World Population Review report larger figures (e.g., Tunis metro ~2.58 million in 2026 projections).
