Births in Sint Maarten: history and projections

Annual births, logarithmic scale. Shading marks modelled years before 1800; the dashed line marks UN projections from 2024.

Every figure refers to the area inside Sint Maarten’s present-day borders. Before 1800 the state did not exist in its current form. See how borders are handled.

Where these numbers come from

2026 figures are the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium scenario. UN estimates cover 1950–2023; projections cover 2024–2100. Earlier years come from 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.
