Saint Lucia Population

Saint Lucia, a small island nation in the Caribbean, has experienced modest population growth over the past several decades. As of 2024, the population is estimated to be around 180,000 people. While the island saw more rapid growth in the mid-20th century, recent years have been characterized by a slower increase, largely due to declining birth rates and significant emigration, particularly among younger residents seeking opportunities abroad. This demographic trend has led to an aging population and poses challenges for the island’s economy and social services. Despite these factors, Saint Lucia’s population continues to grow, albeit at a much slower pace compared to previous decades.
