According to the 'National Total' row (as of 30 June) of the statistics institute's (INE) post-census municipal XLSX for 2015-2030, Guatemala had 17,843,132 inhabitants in 2024 and 18,079,810 in 2025 (+1.3%); 16,346,950 in 2018 and a projected 19,201,062 for 2030. Warning: a figure of 19,702,431 inhabitants for 2024 circulates (Wikipedia citing 'INE projections 2010-2050', 2019); it comes from a pre-census series that does not reconcile with the post-census tables and should not be used. INE publishes national projections for 1950-2050, departmental for 2010-2050 and municipal for 2015-2035.

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

Caveat

do not use the pre-census figure of 19.7 M

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
