Saint Kitts and Nevis Population

Saint Kitts and Nevis, a small island nation in the Caribbean, has experienced modest population growth over the past several decades. As of 2023, the population is estimated to be around 48,000 people. The growth rate has slowed in recent years, largely due to low birth rates and significant emigration, as many citizens seek opportunities abroad. Despite these trends, the population has remained relatively stable, supported by improvements in healthcare and living standards. The country’s small size and limited resources continue to influence demographic patterns, with urbanization concentrated around Basseterre, the capital, and Charlestown on Nevis.
