Homo sapiens; growth slowing toward a projected peak
Northern America
Greenland is recorded at 55.8k people in 2024, with total annual change of -87 under the WPP medium variant.
Greenland observed 2023 population pyramid, grouped into five broad age bands from WPP single-age male and female arrays.
Population identity: births minus deaths plus net migration equals total change within the Record tolerance.
| Births | 762 |

| Deaths | -563 |
| Natural change | +199 |
| Net migration | -284 |
| Total change | -87 |
Change from 2024 to the WPP medium-variant 2100 endpoint.

WPP single-age population by sex, rendered as 5-year pyramid bands from the 101-bin canonical arrays.
Greenland 2023 pyramid: male and female single-age arrays cover 101 age bins; ages 0-14 11.6k, ages 15-64 38.6k, ages 65+ 5.7k.
Greenland 2050 pyramid: male and female single-age arrays cover 101 age bins; ages 0-14 8.6k, ages 15-64 32.5k, ages 65+ 8.8k.
Greenland 2100 pyramid: male and female single-age arrays cover 101 age bins; ages 0-14 5.6k, ages 15-64 22.1k, ages 65+ 9.6k.
Stage since 1977.
First year deaths exceed births, if reached in the series.
Potential support ratio: ages 15-64 per person aged 65+. Working-age peak: 2012.
