Americas in numbers

1,041,794,258 people lived in The Americas in mid-2023: 12.9% of the world's people. That is 3.1 times its 1950 population of 336 million. It covers 55 countries and areas; the largest are the United States (33.0%), Brazil (20.3%), Mexico (12.5%), Colombia (5.0%) and Argentina (4.4%).

The UN's medium projection has it peaking in 2060 at 1.16 billion, then falling to 1.09 billion by 2100.

In the medium projection, deaths outnumber births every year from 2052 on. The population still grows until 2060, because more people arrive than leave.

The median age was 24.2 in 1950 and 34.4 in 2023; the projection has 48.5 in 2100. 12.5% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 30.4% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is projected to peak in 2043 at 736 million.

Americas, every age in every year

Each column is a year and each row an age; the denser the ink in a cell, the more people. Everyone born in the same year climbs one 45° diagonal, so famines, baby booms and migration show up as streaks. Select a cell to follow its generation.

AGG · ages 15–64

Who does the work in Americas

On the UN's projection, the Americas will have the most working-age people it ever has in 2043: 736,194,000 people aged 15–64. In 2023 it had 694,245,000.

How to read this: one orange square for each of 100 people aged 15–64 in 2023. Beneath them, teal for the children living alongside those 100 and violet for the people aged 65 or older.

Fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 in 5 years: 2016–2018 and 2021–2022.

fewer than 50 dependants per 100 the same, projected 50 or more

How to read this: the strip runs 1950 to 2100. Coloured years are the ones with under 50 dependants for every 100 people aged 15–64; grey years are the rest, and a hatched year has not happened yet.

How every country compares

AGG · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in Americas, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 the Americas gains 984,427 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 182,799 a year more arriving than leaving.

one square = 20,000 people a year

020406080+

more arrive than leave more leave than arrive

How to read this: each column is one age, youngest on the left. Above the line, in blue, are the ages gaining people; below it, in orange, the ages losing them. This is the UN's projection for 2020–2025 — the record of migration by age does not go back beyond 2020.

Its best and worst years between 1950 and 2023: a gain of 1,627,614 (2016), and a loss of 264,194 (1986).

This is a group of countries, so its figure counts only moves across its own outer edge: someone moving from one country inside it to another does not appear.

Who has the babies in Americas

Of every 100 babies born in the Americas in 2023, 11 had a mother under 20, 72 a mother aged 20 to 34 and 17 a mother aged 35 or older. In 1950 it was 13 under 20 and 14 aged 35 or older.
