What the numbers show
Annual births in Guadeloupe are at their highest in the whole run of estimates in 1962, at about 10.9K. That is roughly 7.2 times the estimated ~533 births a year in 1 CE.
At 2.04 children per woman, fertility in Guadeloupe is below 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.
