Baltic Population Shifts (1989–2025)

The Baltic states — Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania — have seen massive population changes over the past decades.
🇪🇪 Estonia: -12.7% overall (Tallinn is holding stronger at -4.7%).
🇱🇻 Latvia: the hardest hit, with -30.6% nationwide and cities like Liepaja (-41.1%) losing nearly half their people.
🇱🇹 Lithuania: -22% overall, but Vilnius bucks the trend with +2.6% growth.

👉 Rural depopulation, emigration, and low birth rates have reshaped these nations — but capital cities, especially Vilnius, remain growth hubs.
