Analysis# Comoros Population Analysis
Comoros's population of 866,628 in 2024 places it 158th globally, reflecting its status as a small island nation. The 21.8% growth over the past decade (2014–2024) indicates sustained expansion at approximately 2% annually, significantly outpacing global average growth rates. The nation's peak growth occurred in the 1970s, likely driven by post-independence fertility rates and improved healthcare, though current growth rates remain elevated relative to many developed nations despite demographic transitions observed elsewhere in the region since 1960.
