64,459 people in 2026 (projected). Bermuda’s widest band is now 60–64, twice the size of its under-fives; deaths first exceeded births in 2018 and the population peaked in 2022.

Bermuda age distribution in 2026
Children under 15 account for 13.1% of the population, while 23.5% are aged 65 or older. The remaining 63.4% are in the conventional working-age range of 15–64. On these shares, the site classifies Bermuda’s age structure as older; the guide to constrictive population pyramids explains what that shape implies.
The total age dependency ratio is 57.7: about 58 people under 15 or 65+ for every 100 people aged 15–64 (20.7 children and 37.0 older people). This is an age-balance indicator, not a literal count of economic dependants per worker.
What shapes Bermuda’s population pyramid
An island that aged quickly
Bermuda’s fertility fell from about 3.6 children per woman around 1960 to 1.7 by 1980 and has stayed below replacement since, reaching about 1.4 in 2023. The generations born in the 1960s, before that fall, now form the widest part of the pyramid at ages 55–64, while younger bands are generally smaller. In 2026 people aged 60–64 outnumber children under five about two to one, and the median age, 46.4, is closer to that of southern Europe than the Caribbean; the most similar age structures are Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia. Deaths first exceeded births in 2018, and the population peaked at about 64,700 in 2022.
Small numbers, mobile workers
The 1975 pyramid shows about a fifth more men than women at ages 25–44, consistent with a workforce that included many people from abroad, although the chart alone cannot identify who they were. Over the long run, however, the UN estimates net migration close to zero, so ageing has been driven mainly by low fertility and long lives: life expectancy is about 82 years, with women outliving men by almost seven. With only about 64,000 residents, each five-year band holds a few thousand people and can shift noticeably as workers arrive or leave, which may explain small irregularities such as 110 men per 100 women at 20–24 in 2026.
Under the medium scenario the population falls to about 57,000 by 2050, when more than a third of residents would be 65 or older; the oldest populations ranking shows where such a profile sits internationally.
What to notice across the years
Distinctive cohorts and turning points
No five-year band under age 80 is more than 10% larger or smaller than both of its neighbours, so Bermuda’s 2026 pyramid has a comparatively smooth profile without sharp bulges or notches.
Deaths have exceeded births every year since 2018. People aged 65 and older came to outnumber children under 15 between 2010 and 2015.
Births, deaths, and migration
A pyramid changes in only three ways: births add to the base, deaths remove people at every age, and migration adds or removes people mainly in young adulthood. In 2026, Bermuda is projected to record 500 births (about 1 births a day) and 602 deaths, a natural decrease of 102. Net migration adds −9 people, ranking #107 in the net migration rate ranking.
Between 2000 and 2023 the UN estimates 15,586 births, 11,905 deaths, and cumulative net migration of −375. Over that period the balance of births and deaths moved the total more than migration did. See how migration shapes a pyramid and birth rate versus fertility rate. The medium scenario assumes net migration of −308 between 2026 and 2050.
Annual values 1950–2100; dashed lines after 2023 are the UN medium projection. The trend table below lists the values by decade.

Women in Bermuda are projected to live 6.7 years longer than men, which is why the female side of the pyramid widens relative to the other at older ages (see the life expectancy gap ranking). Infant mortality has fallen from 72 to 1.8 deaths per 1,000 live births since 1950, ranking #225 of 237 in the infant mortality ranking (highest first). A mean age at childbearing of 32.1 years sets the spacing between generations, and so how far apart echo cohorts sit in the pyramid.
Median age, fertility rate, and global ranks for Bermuda
The median age of 46.4 years splits the population into two equal halves. A total fertility rate of 1.42 births per woman is below the replacement level of roughly 2.1, and life expectancy at birth is 82.8 years.
These ranks compare all 237 countries and areas in this dataset using the same 2026 UN medium projection. Ranks use the stored source precision, so displayed rounding can make adjacent values look identical; small differences should not be overinterpreted.
| Indicator | 2026 value | Global rank | Ranking direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Population | 64,459 | #208 | Largest first |
| Median age | 46.4 years | #13 | Oldest first |
| Fertility rate | 1.42 | #190 | Highest first |
| Annual growth | -0.1% | #185 | Fastest first |
| Life expectancy | 82.8 years | #31 | Highest first |
| Population aged 65+ | 23.5% | #18 | Highest share first |
Largest age groups in Bermuda
The five largest cohorts identify where the 2026 population is concentrated. They can reflect past birth patterns, survival, and migration; the chart alone does not establish which cause dominates.

| 5 | 45–49 | 4,577 | 7.1% | 2.3K / 2.3K |
Sex ratio and the balance by age
In the 2026 projection, Bermuda has 31,478 males and 32,980 females. That is 95.4 males per 100 females, ranking #172 when the dataset is ordered from the highest male-to-female ratio to the lowest.
Males account for 48.8% of the population and females for 51.2%. There are 1,502 more females than males overall. Among people aged 65 and older, the ratio is 74.8 males per 100 females.
The overall balance can conceal large differences by age; how sex ratios change with age explains the usual pattern. The ratio reflects the male/female categories in the UN source and is not a measure of gender identity. Compare all profiles in the sex-ratio ranking.
At birth, 104.0 boys are projected to be born for every 100 girls in 2026, close to the biological norm of about 105 (compare the sex ratio at birth ranking). The ratio at birth sets the balance at the base of the pyramid; how it changes with age then depends on survival and migration.
How Bermuda has changed since 1950
The population has increased from 37,214 in 1950 to 64,459 in 2026, a change of 73%. Over the same span, median age moved from 24.1 to 46.4 years.
The under-15 share changed from 32.7% to 13.1%, while the share aged 65 and older changed from 5.7% to 23.5%. These shifts show why total population growth and age-structure change need to be read separately.
How the population could change by 2050
Under the UN medium scenario, Bermuda’s population is projected to decline by about 12%, reaching 56,937 in 2050. The median age changes from 46.4 to 52.3 years.
The 65+ share is projected to rise by 12.5 percentage points to 36.0%. At the same time, the under-15 share is projected at 11.5%. How UN projections work explains the assumptions behind these figures.
The annual UN series reaches its highest estimated population of 64,749 in 2022. Historical population totals are estimates rather than exact head counts. Compare timing across countries in the population peak ranking.
