Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba in numbers

The UN counts 29,898 people in Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba in mid-2023, which makes it the 222nd-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports, and less than 0.01% of the world's people. That is 4.3 times its 1950 population of 6,994.

The UN's medium projection has it peaking in 2045 at 34,927, then falling to 27,860 by 2100. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 7,246 to 268 thousand.

Births stay ahead of deaths until 2032; in the medium projection, deaths are ahead every year after it. The population still grows until 2045, because more people arrive than leave.

The median age was 32.6 in 1950 and 40.7 in 2023; the projection has 51.8 in 2100. 14.1% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 33.6% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is projected to peak in 2040 at 22,612.

Its place in the world by population: 222nd in 2023, 220th in 2050, 221st in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes the Marshall Islands in 2029 and San Marino in 2031.
