Important: These are model inputs, not a measured city age profile. Country-level birth, death and life-expectancy values are applied to the city baseline because city-level vital statistics are not available consistently for every location in this dataset.
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.
If current national birth and death rates stayed constant and migration were ignored, the model would produce 233,766 by 2030, 260,791 by 2040, and 290,941 by 2050. This is a scenario calculation, not an official forecast. It assumes constant rates and excludes migration, boundary changes, policy and economic shifts.
Paramaribo is a medium-sized city located in Suriname. With an estimated population of 223,757 people, it represents a significant urban center within the country. The city operates in the America/Paramaribo time zone (UTC-3:00), placing it among the cities that share this temporal region.
Demographically, Paramaribo has a growing natural-change estimate. With a birth rate of 17 and a death rate of 6 per 1,000 residents annually, the population is rapidly growing. The average life expectancy stands at 72.0 years, reflecting the overall health and living conditions in the region. The model estimates approximately 3,804 births and 1,343 deaths per year, resulting in a net change of 2,461 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 Paramaribo and its position within Suriname's urban landscape.
