Figures are estimates based on UN & World Bank demographic rates β€” see methodology.
βœ“ Methodology disclosedDataset/model last materially updated May 20, 2026 Β· Methodology Β· Data Sources
πŸ“ŠMethodology: Live counters estimate births and deaths using annual demographic rates applied to the base population. Births are calculated as (population Γ— birth rate Γ· 1000) Γ· 365.25 Γ· 24 Γ· 60 Γ· 60 per second. Deaths use the same formula with the death rate. Population change is the net difference between cumulative births and deaths since the baseline data date. These are statistical approximations, not live vital-registration data.
⚠️Data Transparency: The population figure for Honiara (84,520) comes from our city database (SimpleMaps World Cities Database) and may differ from official census figures. Birth rate (12/1,000) and death rate (8/1,000) are country-level averages from UN World Population Prospects & World Bank applied to all cities in Solomon Islands β€” individual city rates may vary. Life expectancy (72.0 yrs) is also a national estimate. Live counters are mathematical estimates from our baseline date (2026-05-20), not live vital-registration. City data: SimpleMaps World Cities Database. Demographic rates: UN World Population Prospects & World Bank. Displayed times use the closest available timezone data and may be approximate for some cities.

Baseline & Model Scope

The imported city population is the baseline observation used by this page. We do not present reconstructed historical city populations as observed facts because applying today's national birth/death rates backward would not account for migration, boundary changes or historical rate changes.

Natural-Change Scenario

If current national birth and death rates stayed constant and migration were ignored, the model would produce 85,880 by 2030, 89,378 by 2040, and 93,018 by 2050. This is a scenario calculation, not an official forecast. It assumes constant rates and excludes migration, boundary changes, policy and economic shifts.

Honiara is a city located in Solomon Islands. With an estimated population of 84,520 people, it represents a significant urban center within the country. The city operates in the Pacific/Guadalcanal time zone (UTC+11:00), placing it among the cities that share this temporal region.

Demographically, Honiara has a growing natural-change estimate. With a birth rate of 12 and a death rate of 8 per 1,000 residents annually, the population is steadily growing. The average life expectancy stands at 72.0 years, reflecting the overall health and living conditions in the region. The model estimates approximately 1,014 births and 676 deaths per year, resulting in a net change of 338 people per year.

The live counters on this page provide continuously updated estimates based on these annual rates, calculating births, deaths, and population changes from our baseline data date of 2026-05-20. These figures offer valuable insights into the demographic dynamics of Honiara and its position within Solomon Islands's urban landscape.
