Current UN projections extend to 2100, but specific 2030 figures for São Tomé and Príncipe are not widely published in accessible sources. The 2022 estimate is ~230,000; a 2030 projection would likely fall in the 250,000–270,000 range assuming ~1.5 % annual growth. For authoritative data, consult the UN World Population Prospects or the national statistics institute (INE-STP) closer to the date.
