Northern America population

Northern America is home to about 389 million people in 2026, roughly 5% of the world total, spread across 5 countries and territories. Its most populous are United States, Canada, Bermuda.

Northern America is still growing and is not projected to peak before 2100. The population rises toward about 475 million by 2100, +22.1% versus today. Its share of world population climbs from 5% to roughly 5%, the clearest sign of how the world's demographic centre of gravity is shifting.

These are the UN's medium-variant figures, the central scenario rather than a forecast. The further out they run the wider the plausible range, but the broad shape of Northern America's century is consistent across the main variants.
