This is a list of Caribbean countries and dependent territories by population, which is sorted by the mid-year normalized demographic projections. Inland and Islands countries in the Caribbean region, even if technically not in the Caribbean sea itself, are included. Some lists include Bermuda, which is located about 1,000 miles from any Caribbean island, and Belize. For related lists, see below.

Notes

  1. Calculated, when available, from the latest national censuses or most recent official estimates (many of which are cited in their respective column), using the exponential formula shown on the List of countries by past and future population article. This is done to normalize the different populations to a unique date, so that they are really comparable.
  2. It corresponds to the following formula: projection2015/projection2014x100-100.
  3. It corresponds to the calculation: projection2015*annual_growth/100.
  4. It corresponds to the formula: LN(2)/LN(growth/100+1), which produces exactly the same result as LOG10(2)/LOG10(growth/100+1).
  5. Commonwealth of the United States since July 26, 1952.
