The Udmurt population is shrinking; the Russian Census reported 552,299 in 2010, down from the [[Russian Census (2002)|2002 Russian census]] figure of 637,000, in turn down from 746,562 in 1989.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}
The [[2021 Russian census|2021 census]] counted fewer Udmurts than had the [[1926 Soviet census|1926 census]].
