How large is Saint Kitts and Nevis?
EqualAtlas calculates a consistent spherical area from the same Natural Earth boundary geometry used for the map. For Saint Kitts and Nevis, that mapped area is approximately 234 square kilometres, ranking #208 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
Saint Kitts and Nevis had a World Bank population value of 46,922 in 2025. Using the displayed mapped area, that is about 200.5 people per square kilometre.
