Considering most of the Netherlands is practically one large metropolitan area (15-30 minute train commute between different cities for example), this is probably reasonable.

Though some population estimates have Amsterdam at above 1m since 1999 (definitely not accurate), the real numbers are published by the CBS (central bureau for statistics). And Amsterdam was at 918 117 in 2023 at the time this statistic was published.

So, close enough?
