How many people live in Greenland, and is it growing?
The Census Bureau estimates that 1,544 people lived in Greenland on July 1, 2025, up 0.1% since 2020, slower than Arkansas (+3.4%). The Census Bureau's yearly estimates start from its own April 2020 base for Greenland, 1,542, which differs from the 2020 Census count of 1,213: the estimates follow the place as the estimates program defines it today (its present boundaries, and for a consolidated city-county the area the program assigns it), so the change since 2020 is measured from that base. The 2020-2024 American Community Survey, a five-year sample, puts the population at 1,274 (±286).

Greenland's population since 2000
From 907 in 2000 to 1,544 in 2025: up 70.2%. The 2000, 2010 and 2020 figures are census counts, each for Greenland as it was drawn that year: a place that annexed land, or a community that has since incorporated, covered a different area then. The 2005 figure is the Census Bureau's intercensal estimate, revised to fit the 2000 and 2010 counts and drawn on 2010 boundaries; 2015 and 2025 are July 1 estimates made from the census before them.

How reliable are the figures for Greenland?
26 of the 57 figures for Greenland on this page carry a coefficient of variation over 40% and are marked with a ring: they come from a small sample, so read them as rough.
The American Community Survey samples about one household in eight over five years, so every figure is an estimate with a 90% margin of error (shown under each value). A ring marks an estimate whose coefficient of variation is over 40%. A change is called only when the gap between the two periods is larger than their combined 90% margin (the square root of the sum of the two squared margins), the Census Bureau's test.
