Bahamas Population Pyramid 2018
Bahamas in 2018
The population of the Bahamas in 2018 was 392,718. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 9.7%, up from 358,120 in 2008.
The median age was 33.9 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 29.2 children under 15 and 15.4 people aged 65 or over. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
