Bermuda Population Growth
Annual population growth rate SP.POP.GROW
Bermuda's population growth was -0.30% in 2025, ranked 192nd globally. This represents a 210.1% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1961–2025.
Overview
Bermuda's population growth stood at -0.30% in 2025, a decline of +0.20pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach -0.30% by 2025. Bermuda ranked 192nd globally.
Bermuda’s population growth has shifted from a robust increase in the early 1960s to a modest decline in the mid‑2020s, reflecting a long‑term demographic transition over 65 years of data. The all‑time peak of 2.56 % occurred in 1962, shortly after the earliest recorded growth of 2.14 % in 1961, but the latest World Bank estimate for 2025 shows a negative rate of –0.30 %, placing Bermuda at rank 192 globally. This trough mirrors the recent experience of peers such as Latvia (–0.32 %) and Georgia (–0.27 %), suggesting that small, high‑income island economies are confronting similar pressures from aging populations, low fertility and limited migration inflows. The reversal from positive to negative growth underscores the cumulative impact of these factors, and unless policy measures stimulate net migration or raise birth rates, the downward trajectory is likely to persist, with future population size potentially contracting further.
