Statistics Greenland, Population estimates 2026, table 2: Population in municipalities 2026 (2025).

Population counts, not density. Municipalities total 56,672 people in 2026; the national total of 56,740 includes 68 people outside municipalities. Those 68 are not assigned to the national park, which remains without data.
