About this chart

The UN projects Canada to reach 53.61 million people in 2100, above its 2023 estimate of 39.30 million. At the estimated endpoint, United States has 343.48 million people against 39.30 million for Canada. In 1950, the corresponding totals were 154.20 million for United States and 13.74 million for Canada. All values are population totals, rather than population density or annual growth rates.

By 2100, the UN medium-variant projection reaches 421.28 million people for United States and 53.61 million for Canada. Estimates end in 2023; later values are conditional projections rather than observed counts. Future fertility, mortality and migration can move the eventual totals away from this path. Comparing the same projection variant keeps the two countries on a consistent basis.
