Analysis# Dominica Population Analysis
Dominica's population of 66,205 in 2024 reflects significant demographic decline, having contracted 5.92% over the past decade—a loss of approximately 4,150 residents. Ranked 193rd globally among 209 countries, the nation's current population represents a substantial reversal from its peak growth period in the 1960s, indicating sustained emigration and/or reduced fertility that has overwhelmed natural population increase. The 64-year dataset (1960–2024) demonstrates that Dominica has transitioned from a growth trajectory to consistent population loss, positioning it among the world's shrinking nations.
