The Bahamas Population

The population growth of The Bahamas has been relatively steady over the past several decades, though it remains modest compared to some other Caribbean nations. As of 2024, the population is estimated to be just under 410,000 people. The Bahamas has experienced slow but consistent growth, driven primarily by natural increase, as net migration rates have fluctuated and sometimes been negative. Urbanization is notable, with the majority of Bahamians residing on New Providence Island, particularly in and around the capital city, Nassau. While the country’s birth rate has gradually declined, improvements in healthcare and living standards have contributed to increased life expectancy, supporting ongoing population growth.
