Analysis# Belize Population Analysis
Belize's population of 417,072 in 2024 reflects modest absolute size but notable growth trajectory, with a 19.53% increase over the past decade indicating an annual growth rate of approximately 1.8%. The country's rank of 169th globally places it among small island and Central American nations, significantly smaller than regional peers like Guatemala or Honduras. The 1990s peak growth period suggests that fertility rates and immigration have since moderated, as the current decade's growth rate trails historical peaks, likely reflecting emigration to larger economies and declining birth rates characteristic of developing nations experiencing demographic transition.
