Samara Oblast is one of the oblasts of Russia, with the city of Samara as its capital. It covers about 53,600 square kilometres. The census of 14 October 2010 counted 3,215,532 residents, a little fewer than the 3,239,737 recorded at the census of 9 October 2002, a fall of 24,205 people. Spread over its area, the 2010 figure works out to roughly 60 residents per square kilometre.
