Comoros's population density stood at 474.0 in 2025, a rise of +17.1 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 474.0 by 2025. Comoros ranked 25th globally.
Comoros has experienced a significant increase in population density over the past 64 years, with the latest value standing at 474.02 individuals per square kilometer. This represents a substantial rise from the all-time trough recorded in 1961, when the population density was 108.11 individuals per square kilometer. In comparison, neighboring St. Martin (French part) boasts a slightly higher population density of 478.24 individuals per square kilometer, while Israel's density of 470.53 individuals per square kilometer is comparable to Comoros. In contrast, India's population density of 491.80 individuals per square kilometer is higher, and Haiti's density of 431.88 individuals per square kilometer is lower. Comoros' population density has more than quadrupled since 1961, driven largely by natural population growth. If fertility rates continue to decline, as they have globally, Comoros' population density may stabilize or even begin to decrease in the coming years, potentially alleviating pressure on the country's limited land and resources.
