Greenlanders, also called Greenlandics or Greenlandic people,[9] are an Inuit ethnic group native to Greenland. As of 2024, Greenland's population stands at 55,840 and is in decline.[1] Many Greenlanders are emigrating to other countries, particularly Denmark, where the population of native Greenlanders was around 18,563 as of 2018.[2] Within Greenland, most residents live along the coastline, primarily in the central and southern regions, while the northern areas are less populated, as strongly influenced by climatic and geographical considerations.
