Grenada: population and ages

In mid-1950 there were 77,300 people, so the population is now 1.5 times as large.

The UN projects 1,300 births and 1,060 deaths in 2026, 240 more births than deaths.

The UN projects the first year with more deaths than births in 2037.

More people leave than move in: net migration in 2026 is projected at minus 200.

The median age is 34.9, which is 3.8 years above the world’s 31.1.

19% of the people are under 15 and 13% are 65 or older (world: 24% and 11%).

The UN projects that people aged 65 and over will outnumber children under 15 from 2037.

Women have 1.4 children on average at today’s rates (world: 2.2), against 5.2 in 1950.

Life expectancy at birth is 75.7 years, above the world’s 73.8. In 1950 it was 52.7.

For mid-2050 the UN projects 113,000 people, 3.5% fewer than now, with a median age of 44.3.

By the death rates of 2023, life expectancy at birth was 75.2 years. People who had reached 65 could expect 19.7 more years for women and 15.3 for men.

On 1 January 2026, there are 18.8 people aged 65 or more for every 100 aged 15 to 64. For 2050, the UN projects 29.9.

For 2100 the UN projects a population of 73,900, with a 95 percent prediction interval of 12,500 to 410,000.

Life expectancy at birth is a period measure. It sums up the death rates of one year and is not a forecast of how long the babies born that year will live.

In mid-2024, 7,340 international migrants lived here, 6.3% of the population.

In mid-2024, 26,300 people from here lived in other countries.
