Here you may find the estimate population numbers of Thedas, divided into lands and races.

Orlaisan Population:
Settled in a generally temperate region with both the Hearlands and the Dales acting as extremely fertile bread baskets, Orlais no doubt has one of the largest human populations in Thedas. It should also have the largest elven population outside of Tevinter, considering the dissolution of the Dales.
Human: 4.5 million
Elven: 1.5 million (1.4 city elves/100,000 Dalish migrants)
Dwarven: 300,000 (surface dwarves)
Kossith: 200,000 (unaffiliated)
Total: 6.5 million +
Ferelden Population:
Located in the far south of Thedas, its climate is no doubt the coldest. However, the Bannorn is still a very fruitful region, and freehold farming is commonplace, so a relatively healthy population is expected. Add into this equation the untold hordes of Chasind and Avvar tribes throughout the Kocari wilds, and you could have a population that rivals Orlais. The presence of Orzammar within Ferelden's borders would also contribute significantly to the surface dwarf population (it would be there first stop after exile, forced or self-imposed.) The nearness of the Dales beyond the Frostback mountains, also lends itself to a substantial elven population, with a sizable Dalish presence in the Brecillian Forest. This far from Par Vollen, however, Kossith are relatively few in number.
Human: 1.75 million
Elven: 1.2 million (800,000 city elves, 600,000 Dalish)
Dwarven: 350,000 (surface dwarves)
Kossith: 70,000 (unaffiliated)
Total: 3.45 million +
Orzammar Population:
Subterranean and cramped, yet still the greatest city of the dwarfs even before the advent of the Blight, Orzammar remains one of the cradles of Dwarven civilization, and seems to be a city on a massive scale. Some human and elven presence is expected, as a new Circle of Magi was built in Orzammar and trade with the surface has flourished.
Human: 100,000
Elven: ?
Dwarven: 1.5 million
Kossith: ?
Total: 1.6 million +
The Free Marches Population:
Located north of Ferelden in what is certainly a much more temperate zone, The Free Marches are more a collection of city states than anything resembling a true nation. However, the benefits of the extensive river and flood plain system provided by the massive Minanter river cannot be underestimated. The melting pot of Thedas, so to speak, where north bleeds into south, the population of the Free Marches is no doubt diverse and dense.
Human: 2.5 million
Elven: 1 million (800,000 city/200,000 Dalish)
Dwarven: 450,000 (surface)
Kossith: 200,000 (unaffiliated/Tal-Vashoth)
Total: 4.1 million +
The number of living Darkspawn in Thedas is unknown.
