New Amsterdam has a population of 35,039, making it the 3rd largest place we list in Guyana. It is in East Berbice-Corentyne.
New Amsterdam holds 4.2% of Guyana's 840,890 people. Georgetown, the largest place we list there, is 6.7 times its size. The World Gazetteer published 35,039 for New Amsterdam in 2005 and GeoNames still carries that same figure, so there is no measured change to report.
The 2005 figure comes from the World Gazetteer archive restored on this site. Why figures differ.

Figures are the latest available in GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), which draws on national censuses of varying dates — treat them as recent, not same-year. Country totals are UN World Population Prospects 2024 (medium variant) where the UN lists the country separately; the handful it reports under a parent state keep a GeoNames figure and are marked as such.
