Bahamas, The: Population ages 15-64, male

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Bahamas, The's population ages 15-64, male rose 0.5% on 2024 (from 135,299 to 136,016).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +1.1% and a typical year strayed about 0.3% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 6.8% in 1961. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 831.82 a year. A straight line explains 100% of the movement over 10 observed years.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 138,988 for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 969.99, against 1,721 for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
