Honduras in numbers

10,644,851 people lived in Honduras in mid-2023: 0.13% of the world's people, and the 88th-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports. That is 6.8 times its 1950 population of 1.6 million.

The UN's medium projection has it peaking in 2090 at 17.1 million, then falling to 17.0 million by 2100. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 10.1 million to 32.4 million.

The medium projection has deaths passing births in 2090 and staying above them from then on.

The median age was 18.6 in 1950 and 24.5 in 2023; the projection has 44.8 in 2100. 4.3% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 25.2% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is projected to peak in 2075 at 10.7 million.

Among countries it ranks 88th in 2023, 86th in 2050 and 86th in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Czechia in 2024, Cuba in 2025 and Belgium in 2030. It is overtaken by the United Arab Emirates in 2024, Tajikistan in 2036 and Togo in 2044.

Honduras, 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.

Who does the work in Honduras

On the UN's projection, Honduras will have the most working-age people it ever has in 2075: 10,659,800 people aged 15–64. In 2023 it had 6,888,400.

Who arrives in Honduras, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Honduras loses 5,303 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 25–29, at 950 a year more leaving than arriving.

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.

In the years that were counted, 1950–2023, the most it gained in one year was -82 (1950) and the most it lost was 17,812 (1986).

In 2024, 39,901 people living in Honduras had been born in another country, fewer than 1 of every 100 people there, against 5 in 1990.

Years in good health in Honduras

In Honduras, WHO puts the healthy years a newborn could expect in 2021 at 60.0 (95% range 59.3–60.8), out of 69.0 in all. That leaves 9.0 years in less than full health, fewer than the world's 9.5, which mostly means lives are shorter here, with fewer years in which to be ill.

Men

How to read this: each square is a year of life, each row ten years; filled squares are years in full health, rounded to whole years.

Women: 60.5 healthy years of 70.5. Men: 59.6 of 67.4. In 2019, before the pandemic, the healthy years were 62.3.

Displacement in Honduras

At the end of 2025, 423,845 people were displaced inside Honduras, about 39 of every 1,000 people living there.

How to read this: each square is 10,000 people, so the rows can be compared with one another. The last row is people from Honduras living in another country, wherever they are. An outlined square means fewer people than one square stands for.

In 2025, 716 people asked for asylum in Honduras for the first time; 45,802 people from Honduras asked for asylum in another country. Of every 100 people from Honduras whose claims were decided that year, 27 were given protection. Who asks for asylum, and who is given it

Of every 100 adults in Honduras in 2020, 15 never went to school and 20 finished upper secondary or went further.

Among women, 6.5 of every 100 aged 25–29 never went to school, against 26.4 of every 100 aged 60–64; among men, 8.7 against 23.7.

Its people aged 15 to 64 are projected to be most numerous in 2055; the ones who finished upper secondary are most numerous later, in 2090.

How to read this: every adult here as one of 100 squares. The stronger the colour, the further that person went in school (the Wittgenstein Centre, 2020).
