Bahamas Population Pyramid 2021
Bahamas in 2021
The population of the Bahamas in 2021 was 396,373. That is 6.6% more than in 2011, when the population stood at 371,729.
The median age was 34.9 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 27.4 children under 15 and 15.9 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.
