Key Insights
With a population of 5,819 living within a small area of 242 square kilometers, the resulting population density is relatively high (approx. 24 people per sq km) compared to many large, sparsely populated countries in North America. This concentration suggests a highly urbanized or clustered settlement pattern.
Despite being geographically situated in North America, Saint Pierre and Miquelon is an overseas collectivity of France. This unique political status means its governance, currency, and legal framework are heavily influenced by European standards, creating a distinct cultural and administrative blend in the subregion.
Saint Pierre and Miquelon hosts an extremely small population, comparable to a moderately sized village, making it one of the least populous territories in the entire Americas region. This small size implies unique challenges and benefits regarding infrastructure and resource management.
