Analysis# St. Lucia Population Analysis
St. Lucia's population of 179,744 in 2024 represents modest growth at 3.22% over the past decade, placing it 178th globally among 209 ranked nations. The 1985s marked the nation's peak growth decade, indicating that population expansion has decelerated significantly since that period. Over the full 64-year span from 1960 to 2024, this trajectory reflects St. Lucia's transition from rapid post-independence expansion to a slower-growth demographic pattern typical of developing Caribbean economies.
