Analysis# Panama Population Analysis
Panama's population of 4.52 million (2024) represents moderate growth at 16.02% over the past decade, translating to roughly 620,000 new residents added since 2014. Ranked 125th globally, Panama's growth trajectory has substantially decelerated from its peak in the 1960s, reflecting typical demographic transition patterns as fertility rates normalize in middle-income countries. The 64-year dataset reveals that Panama's current expansion rate is notably slower than the post-WWII surge that characterized the 1960s boom, indicating a stabilizing population structure.
