In terms of area, Swabia is thus the third largest administrative district in Bavaria and, after Upper Bavaria, has the second largest population. Swabia is divided into four free cities, ten rural districts, and 336 municipalities. The City of Augsburg is the third-largest in Bavaria, with a third of the Swabian population concentrated in this urban centre. The average age in Swabia, at 43.7 years (2016), is in accordance with the average for Bavaria of 43.6 years.

Thanks to migration from other German regions and from abroad, Swabia is one of Germany’s growing regions. Swabia's stable popula- tion development will continue into the future. Cast against the backdrop of the growing need for skilled labour, this is an important factor for the region’s future economic development. 2006= 100 115 110 105 100 95 years ´06 ´07 ´08 ´09 ´10 ´11 ´12 ´13 ´14 ´15 ´16 ´17 ´18 ´19 ´20 ´21 ´22 ´23 ´24 ´25 ´26 ´27 ´28 ´29 ´30 ´31 ´32 ´33 ´34 ´35 ´36 Augsburg economic area Allgäu North Swabia Donau-Iller Region Swabia Bavaria Forecast Forecast Forecast Forecast Forecast Forecast The spikes in the population curve in 2011 can be explained by the national correction of the 2011 census.
