About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Greenland population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Greenland across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Greenland was 1,220, a 0.91% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Greenland population was 1,209, a decline of 0.49% compared to a population of 1,215 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Greenland increased by 297. In this period, the peak population was 1,407 in the year 2018. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Greenland by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Greenland. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Greenland by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Greenland. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Greenland.

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis.
