What the numbers show
Annual births in Comoros are at their highest in the whole run of estimates in 2026, at about 24.6K. That is roughly 104 times the estimated ~237 births a year in 900 CE.
At 3.71 children per woman, fertility in Comoros is above the level of about 2.1 that would hold a population steady over the long run without migration.
Where these numbers come from
2026 figures are the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium variant. Earlier years come from the UN's estimates (1950 onward), Gapminder's reconstructions (1800–1949) and a model applied to HYDE population estimates (before 1800). The full chain is set out in the methodology, and every source is listed on the sources page.
