Bahamas Population Pyramid 2026
Bahamas in 2026
In 2026, the Bahamas has an estimated population of 404,628 people. That is 4.3% more than in 2016, when the population stood at 388,056.
Half of the population is younger than 36.7 years; 17.2% are children under 15 and 12.4% are 65 or older. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
