There were 3.77 million residents, of which 3.23 million were Singapore citizens and 0.54 million were permanent residents, according to the Singapore Department of Statistics. Singapore's total population registered a lower growth rate of 1.8 percent in 2010, reflecting the slower growth in the number of permanent residents and non- residents over the past year. The number of permanent residents grew by 1.5 percent in 2010, down from at least 6 percent growth per year between 2005 and 2009.
