Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands located in the English Channel, has experienced relatively modest population growth in recent decades. As of 2023, the population is estimated to be around 64,000. The island’s population growth has been influenced by factors such as limited land area, strict immigration controls, and an aging demographic profile. While there was steady growth in the late 20th century, recent years have seen a stabilization, with only slight increases or even small declines in some years. Guernsey’s government closely monitors population trends to balance economic needs with the preservation of the island’s unique environment and community character.
