Nuuk residents as a share of Greenland's population on 1 July 2024.
Nuuk contained 34.8% of Greenland’s population on 1 July 2024. The share uses 19,772 Nuuk residents and a territory-wide total of 56,836. The rest of Greenland accounted for 65.2%, or 37,064 people. This same-date calculation replaces the looser 36% approximation.

Evidence: Supports the 1 July 2024 Greenland and Nuuk population counts.
The exact same-date share is 34.8%, replacing an earlier 36% approximation. Greenland is an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, not a sovereign nation.
The Nuuk share divides the official capital count by the official Greenland total for the same date. The rest-of-Greenland count is the territory total minus Nuuk.
The numerator and denominator use one publisher, observation date and person unit, and the two components reconcile to the official total.
