This article is about the demographic characteristics of the population of Grenada, including population density , ethnicity , educational attainment, population health, economic status, religious affiliation, and other aspects of the population.
Although most of the population of Grenada is of African descent, there are some traces of the early Arawak and Caribbean Indians. Several Indo-Grenadians and small societies of settlers of the descendants of the early Europeans live in Grenada. About 50% of the population of Grenada is young people under 30 years old. The official language is English; only a few people still speak French . A more significant reminder of the historical connection between Grenada and France is the number of Roman Catholics, to which about 60% of the Grenadians belong. The Anglican Church is the largest Protestant denomination.
