Analysis# Grenada Urban Population
Grenada's urban population reached 36.563% in 2024, matching its all-time peak. Since 1960, when just 30.395% of the population lived in urban areas, the country has experienced steady urbanization, with a total increase of 20.3 percentage points over six decades. This gradual shift reflects broader demographic changes across the Caribbean region.
The 2015-2024 period demonstrates consistent annual growth, with the urban share climbing from 35.932% to 36.563%. Each year between 2015 and 2024 recorded incremental gains, averaging roughly 0.07 percentage points annually. This sustained upward trajectory suggests urbanization pressures continue to drive migration from rural areas, though Grenada maintains a predominantly rural character compared to many developed nations.
