The Latin America and the Caribbean Population Time Series data set provides total population estimates using spatially consistent and comparable Units for Latin American municipalities or equivalent administrative Units for the years 1990 and 2000. The data set consists of two vector polygon layers: one layer displays population estimates for subnational administrative Units in 1990 and 2000, including population counts, density, and percent change, at the municipality level or equivalent (level 2); a second layer summarizes this information at the country level (level 0).
As of 2024, Barbados was the most densely populated country in Latin America and the Caribbean, with approximately 652 people per square kilometer. In that same year, Argentina's population density was estimated at approximately 16.7 people per square kilometer.
This map features the World Population Density Estimate 2016 layer for the Caribbean region. The advantage population density affords over raw counts is the ability to compare levels of persons per square kilometer anywhere in the world.
The annual population growth in Latin America & the Caribbean increased by 0.1 percentage points (+15.15 percent) in 2023 in comparison to the previous year. Accordingly, 2023 was the first time during the observed period that the population growth has increased in Latin America & the Caribbean. Annual population growth refers to the change in the population over time, and is affected by factors such as fertility, mortality, and migration.
The population of Latin America and the Caribbean increased from 175 million in 1950 to 515 million in 2000. Where did this growth occur? What is the magnitude of change in different places? How can we visualize the geographic dimensions of population change in Latin America and the Caribbean? We compiled census and other public domain information to analyze both temporal and geographic changes in population in the region. Our database includes population totals for over 18,300 administrative districts within Latin America and the Caribbean. Tabular census data was linked to an administrative division map of the region and handled in a geographic information system. We transformed vector population maps to raster surfaces to make the digital maps comparable with other commonly available geographic information. Validation and error-checking analyses were carried out to compare the database with other sources of population information. The digital population maps created in this project have been put in the public domain and can be downloaded from our website. The Latin America and Caribbean map is part of a larger multi-institutional effort to map population in developing countries. This is the third version of the Latin American and Caribbean population database and it contains new data from the 2000 round of censuses and new and improved accessibility surfaces for creating the raster maps.

As of January 2024, the Dominican Republic had the largest number of internet users in the Caribbean, with more than 10.14 million citizens online. Even though the Bahamas ranked seventh with 390.8 thousand users, it was the Caribbean sovereign state with the highest percentage of people online. Meanwhile, Montserrat was the territory with the smallest online population in the region, since only 2.4 thousand of its inhabitants accessed the internet.

IPUMS-International is an effort to inventory, preserve, harmonize, and disseminate census microdata from around the world. The project has collected the world's largest archive of publicly available census samples. The data are coded and documented consistently across countries and over time to facillitate comparative research. IPUMS-International makes these data available to qualified researchers free of charge through a web dissemination system. The IPUMS project is a collaboration of the Minnesota Population Center, National Statistical Offices, and international data archives. Major funding is provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Additional support is provided by the University of Minnesota Office of the Vice President for Research, the Minnesota Population Center, and Sun Microsystems.

This table includes figures about the population on the islands of Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba by country of birth and nationality on 1 January.
Since 10 October 2010, the islands of Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba have been given the status of 'special municipality' of the Netherlands. On the grounds of their new status as 'special municipality', they are officially classified as public bodies of the Netherlands.
Data available from: 2011.
Status of the figures: The figures are final.
Changes on 5 December 2024: None, this is a new table. This table succeeds the table Caribbean Netherlands; population, country of birth, nationality; 2011-2024. See section 3. The following changes have been implemented compared to the discontinued table: - Persons born in countries that have since disintegrated (e.g. the Soviet Union) have been assigned to one of the countries that emerged from these old countries based on birthplace information. See also notes on 'Country of birth'; - The origin countries Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Turkey have been assigned to continent Asia (was Europe);
When will new figures be published? In the second quarter of 2025 figures of 1 January 2025 will be added.
