Antigua and Barbuda in numbers

Antigua and Barbuda had 93,316 people in mid-2023, the 201st-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports, and less than 0.01% of the world's people. That is 2.1 times its 1950 population of 45,444.

The UN's medium projection has it peaking in 2038 at 97,182, then falling to 67,975 by 2100. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 14,132 to 310 thousand.

Births stay ahead of deaths until 2040; in the medium projection, deaths are ahead every year after it.

The median age was 19.0 in 1950 and 36.5 in 2023; the projection has 53.0 in 2100. 11.2% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 35.5% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is projected to peak in 2025 at 66,130.

Among countries it ranks 201st in 2023, 201st in 2050 and 201st in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in 2032. It is overtaken by the Cayman Islands in 2043.

Antigua and Barbuda, 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.

ATG · ages 15–64

Who does the work in Antigua and Barbuda

On the UN's projection, Antigua and Barbuda will have the most working-age people it ever has in 2026: 66,133 people aged 15–64. In 2023 it had 65,829.

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 28 years: 2005–2032.

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.

ATG · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in Antigua and Barbuda, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Antigua and Barbuda gains 2 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 30–34, at 3 a year more arriving than leaving.

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 555 (1995), and a loss of 1,436 (1973).

In 2024, 30,473 people living in Antigua and Barbuda had been born in another country, 33 of every 100 people there, against 19 in 1990.

Years in good health in Antigua and Barbuda

A baby born in Antigua and Barbuda in 2021 could expect 76.9 years of life, 66.5 of them in full health (WHO gives no range for this figure). That leaves 10.4 years in less than full health, more than the world's 9.5: a longer life usually brings a longer stretch of illness near its end.

Displacement in Antigua and Barbuda

UNHCR publishes no refugees, asylum-seekers or displaced people in or from Antigua and Barbuda at the end of 2025.
