Lima Demographics and Statistics
As the country’s melting pot, modern day Lima exemplifies what occurs when highland, tropical lowland, and coastal cultures intermingle over a relatively short span of time. Luckily, it is precisely this blend of Peruvian ethnicities and contrasting customs, as well as the influences brought by past waves of Arab, European, and Asiatic immigrants that gives Lima its astounding vibrancy.
Population: 8,445,200 (2007)
Religion: Principally Roman Catholic 81.3% and Evangelical 12.5%.
Area: Although the official metropolitan area of Lima occupies a territory of 2,672.28 sq. km. (1,031.77 sq. mi.), the actual designation of “urban” Lima comprises only 31% (320 sq. mi.) of this space. The remaining 69%, or 13 of the city’s 43 districts, is commonly considered the outskirts of Lima proper.
