Latin America & Caribbean · CUWhere is Cuba?
Cuba is grouped in the World Bank's Latin America & Caribbean region. Its listed capital is Havana. The profile's representative coordinates are 23.13° N, 82.37° W; they are orientation points, not geometric centroids or boundary claims.
How large is Cuba?
EqualAtlas calculates a consistent spherical area from the same Natural Earth boundary geometry used for the map. For Cuba, that mapped area is approximately 109,285 square kilometres, ranking #105 among 238 mapped country and territory profiles. It may differ slightly from figures published by national statistical offices because coastlines, inland water and territorial definitions vary by dataset.
People and place
Cuba had a World Bank population value of 10,937,203 in 2025. Using the displayed mapped area, that is about 100.1 people per square kilometre. Area and population answer different questions, so EqualAtlas keeps their reference methods visible rather than combining them into an unexplained ranking.
The latest imported life expectancy at birth value is 78.3 years for 2024, ranking #65 among 215 profiles with data. It is a period estimate based on prevailing mortality rates, not a prediction for an individual person.
