Analysis# Dominican Republic Population Analysis
The Dominican Republic's population of 11.43 million represents steady but moderating growth, with a 10.78% increase over the past decade equating to approximately 1.1 million new residents. Ranked 84th globally, the nation's current growth trajectory is substantially lower than its 1960s peak, reflecting the demographic transition typical of middle-income Caribbean economies as fertility rates decline. The 64-year dataset reveals a country that has more than tripled its population from roughly 3.7 million in 1960, demonstrating how 20th-century population momentum has gradually decelerated into the 21st century.
