Antigua and Barbuda Population

Antigua and Barbuda, a twin-island nation in the Caribbean, has experienced modest population growth over recent decades. As of 2024, the estimated population is around 94,000 people, reflecting a gradual increase from previous years. The country’s growth rate remains relatively low, typically below 1% annually, due to a combination of factors such as limited natural resources, emigration, and a small land area. While the population has grown steadily since independence in 1981, the rate has slowed in recent years, influenced by economic opportunities abroad and natural disasters like hurricanes that occasionally impact the islands. Urbanization is notable, with the majority of residents living in the capital, St. John’s, and tourism continues to play a significant role in attracting both temporary and permanent residents.
