Demographics of Greenland
This is a demography of the population of Greenland including population density, ethnicity, economic status, religious affiliations and other aspects of the population.
The demographics of Greenland is highly impacted by the rapid transformation from a hunter-gatherer to a post-industrial society in the 20th century. This transformation resulted in Greenland undergoing a demographic transition, with a significant population increase as a result.[2]
This rocketing of the population caused Danish authorities to implement a highly controversial IUD program, known as the Spiral case in the 1960s and 70s.[3]
Populations
As of 1 January 2024 the resident population of Greenland was estimated to be 56,699, an increase of 90 (0.2%) from the previous year.[4]
| Municipality | Population | % of total | Annual change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq | 24,382 | 43.00% |  +234 (+1.0%) |
| Avannaata Kommunia | 10,846 | 19.13% |  −74 (−0.7%) |
| Qeqqata Kommunia | 9,204 | 16.23% | +13 (+0.1%) |
| Kommune Kujalleq | 6,145 | 10.84% | −60 (−1.0%) |
| Kommune Qeqertalik | 6,058 | 10.68% | −24 (−0.4%) |
Values do not sum to 100% because there were 64 inhabitants living outside the five municipalities; this includes residents in the unincorporatedNortheast Greenland National Park. Nuuk is the most populous locality in Greenland with 19,872 inhabitants, which is about 35% of Greenland's total population.

The population of Greenland consists of Greenlandic Inuit (including mixed-race people), Danish Greenlanders and other Europeans and North Americans. The Inuit population makes up approximately 85–90% of the total (2009 est.). 6,792 people from Denmark live in Greenland, which is 12% of its total population.
The average Greenlander has 75% Inuit ancestry and 25% European ancestry, tracing about half of their paternal DNA to Danish male ancestors.[11][12][13]
In recent years, Greenland experienced a significant increase in immigration from Asia, especially from the Philippines, Thailand, and China.
Languages
The only official language of Greenland is Greenlandic.[14] The number of speakers of Greenlandic is estimated at 50,000 (85–90% of the total population), divided in three main dialects, Kalaallisut (West-Greenlandic, 44,000 speakers and the dialect that is used as official language), Tunumiit (East-Greenlandic, 3,000 speakers) and Inuktun (North-Greenlandic, 800 speakers). The remainder of the population mainly speaks Danish; Inuit Sign Language is the language of the deaf community.
Religion
- Protestantism (95.5%)
- Roman Catholicism (0.20%)
- Other Christian (0.40%)
- Inuit spiritual beliefs (0.80%)
- Agnostic (2.30%)
- Atheist (0.20%)
- Other religion (0.60%)
The nomadic Inuit were traditionally shamanistic, with a well-developed mythology primarily concerned with propitiating a vengeful and fingerless sea Goddess who controlled the success of the seal and whale hunts.
The first Norse colonists were pagan, but Erik the Red's son Leif was converted to Catholic Christianity by KingOlaf Trygvesson on a trip to Norway in 990 and sent missionaries back to Greenland. These swiftly established sixteen parishes, some monasteries, and a bishopric at Garðar.
Rediscovering these colonists and spreading the Protestant Reformation among them was one of the primary reasons for the Danish recolonization in the 18th century. Under the patronage of the Royal Mission College in Copenhagen, Norwegian and Danish Lutherans and German Moravian missionaries searched for the missing Norse settlements and began converting the Inuit. The principal figures in the Christianization of Greenland were Hans and Poul Egede and Matthias Stach. The New Testament was translated piecemeal from the time of the very first settlement on Kangeq Island, but the first translation of the whole Bible was not completed until 1900. An improved translation using the modern orthography was completed in 2000.[17]
Today, the major religion is Protestant Christianity, mostly members of the LutheranChurch of Denmark. While there is no official census data on religion in Greenland, the Lutheran Bishop of GreenlandSofie Petersen[18] estimated that 85% of the Greenlandic population were members of its congregation in 2009.[19] Estimates in 2022 put the figure at 93%.[20]
Spiral case
In the 1960s and 70s, Greenland was subject to an IUD program. At least 4,500 Inuit women were implanted with IUD's - about half the fertile population of women at the time. It is unclear how many cases lacked consent or proper explanation. The program was publicly known, with Danish doctors writing of it in journals, . The involuntary program regained public awareness in 2022 with an investigation known as the spiral case.[21]
