According to allcitypopulation, North Korea is a small, isolated country located in East Asia, with an estimated population of 25.5 million people as of 2019. This number is relatively low compared to other countries in the region, such as South Korea and China. The population is concentrated in the northern and western regions, with the capital city Pyongyang being the most populous city. The majority of the population are ethnic Koreans, although there are also small populations of Chinese and Japanese living in North Korea. The median age of the population is 32 years old, with a life expectancy of 70 years for males and 75 years for females. Over 70% of North Koreans live in rural areas and rely on subsistence farming for their livelihoods. Education is highly valued in North Korea, with a literacy rate of almost 100%. Healthcare services are available but limited due to economic sanctions imposed by the United Nations on North Korea. While poverty is an issue in North Korea due to its isolation from much of the world, it has recently made strides towards economic development through its policies on self-reliance and economic reforms.
