How big is Grenada?

By population, Grenada ranks 181st in the world, holding roughly well under a hundredth of a percent of all people on Earth. By land area it ranks 187th.

Those two numbers rarely match, and the gap between them is the interesting part. Grenada has 365 people per square kilometre, which is about 6.1 times the world average of 59.4. It is more crowded than its size alone would suggest.

Within North America, Grenada is the 19th most populous country of 23.
