Saint Pierre and Miquelon's population is projected to have slipped past its peak: from a high of 6,436 in 1995, it is projected at 5,513 in 2026. That is up 23% from 4,489 in 1950. The population is shrinking by 1.14% a year. With only 24 people/km², it is one of the world's more sparsely settled countries. Half the population is younger than 47.6 years, and the age structure is steadily tilting older: the median is projected to reach 50.8 by 2050. The sexes are close to evenly balanced, at 97 males per 100 females. By 2100, UN projections see it falling to 2,013 (-63% from 2026).
