People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 46,922 people for Saint Kitts and Nevis in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 180 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are English. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currency listed for this date is East Caribbean Dollar (XCD). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
