Best Answer

Any answer based on "official" statistics would be wildly inaccurate. Due to the Hukou system of China in particular, and the local ID Card scheme of Shenzhen city to a lesser degree, you have official government numbers that do not really match the amount of people who live and work in Shenzhen.

The last official Shenzhen census in 2010 put the population at around 7.2 million. Now, include all the people who consider Shenzhen their home but have their Hukou in another city or province, and the blue collar "migrant" workers and the real number is closer to about 12 million.

Old Answer = The population of Shenzhen on November 28th 2011 is approximately 8,923,582. (Extrapolated from Hong Kong populations of 6,940,000 in 2006 and 6,980,412 on October 9th 2010, and a Shenzhen population of 8,912,300 on December 30th 2010.)
