Port Maria has a population of 7,906, making it the 29th largest place we list in Jamaica. It is in Saint Mary Parish.
Port Maria holds 0.28% of Jamaica's 2,833,403 people. Kingston, the largest place we list there, is 119 times its size. The World Gazetteer published 7,906 for Port Maria 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.
