Grenada Urban Population
Urban population as % of total SP.URB.TOTL.IN.ZS
Grenada's urban population was 36.64% in 2025, ranked 181st globally. This represents a 0.2% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Grenada's urban population stood at 36.64% in 2025, a rise of +0.08% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 36.64% by 2025. Grenada ranked 181st globally.
Grenada’s urban share of the population has risen modestly but steadily over the 66‑year span from 1960 to 2025, climbing from 30.39 % in the earliest year to 36.64 % in the latest observation, which also represents the all‑time peak. This 6.25‑percentage‑point increase places Grenada at rank 181 globally, a level virtually identical to Tanzania’s 36.66 % and slightly above India’s 35.69 % while remaining below Mozambique’s 37.01 % and Sudan’s 34.95 %. The upward trajectory reflects gradual rural‑to‑urban migration and incremental urban development, yet the pace remains limited compared to many rapidly urbanising economies. Because the urban proportion has not exceeded 40 % after more than six decades, any acceleration in infrastructure investment, service provision, or demographic shifts such as youth migration could push Grenada past the current ceiling and sustain a higher urbanisation rate in the coming years.
