Analysis# Cayman Islands Population Analysis
The Cayman Islands population reached 74,457 in 2024, growing 23.76% over the past decade—a substantial increase driven primarily by immigration and economic expansion in the financial services sector. With a rank of #192 among 209 countries and territories, the jurisdiction remains one of the world's smallest populations, yet has sustained consistent growth since 1960 when comprehensive data collection began. Peak growth occurred during the 1970s, when the territory experienced its most rapid expansion, though current growth rates continue to outpace many developed nations despite the small absolute numbers.
