The claim
“Greenland has a population of 57,000 people”
Our verdict
Mostly True
The claim is essentially accurate.
What we found
Multiple sources confirm Greenland's population is approximately 57,000-58,000. Wikipedia's demographics page shows 57,792 (2022 est.) and Our World in Data shows 55,951 (2023). The figure of 57,000 is a reasonable round number that accurately represents the population range.
