Population of La Paz by Municipality/TIOC

The Department of La Paz is the most populous in Bolivia, with a total population of 3,030,917 inhabitants. Of this total, 1,504,480 are men and 1,526,437 are women, showing a slight predominance of women at the departmental level.

Population distribution is highly concentrated in urban areas, particularly in the metropolitan axis formed by El Alto, La Paz (Our Lady of Peace), and Viacha. El Alto is the largest municipality with 885,825 inhabitants, followed by La Paz city with 757,431, and Viacha with 113,554. Together, these municipalities account for a large share of the department’s total population, reflecting strong urbanization and internal migration.

Beyond the metropolitan area, La Paz has numerous medium-sized municipalities such as Caranavi, Pucarani, Achacachi, Sorata, Palos Blancos, Sicasica, and Coripata, which function as regional service, agricultural, mining, or commercial centers.

A significant portion of the department is made up of small, predominantly rural municipalities, many with populations below 10,000 inhabitants. These areas are closely linked to agriculture, livestock, mining, tourism, and indigenous territories (TIOC), particularly in the Altiplano, Yungas, and Amazonian zones.

Overall, La Paz’s demographic structure highlights:

  • Strong urban concentration, especially in El Alto and La Paz city
  • Wide municipal diversity, with 87 municipalities
  • A slight female majority
  • A clear contrast between dense urban centers and sparsely populated rural areas
