Population

• Total population: According to the 2021 Census, the population of St. Helena was 4,439. This figure had decreased by 2.1% since the 2016 census.
• Declining numbers: Since 2000, the island has consistently had more deaths than births, leading to a shrinking population. Outward migration, particularly by younger residents seeking work abroad, also drives the decline.
• Aging population: St. Helena has a significantly aging demographic. In 2021, over half of the St. Helenian residents were over 50. The number of residents aged 65 and over has been rising due to increasing life expectancies and former residents returning to the island.
• Population density: The population density is low, at roughly 94.5 people per square mile (36.5 per km²).
• Urbanization: In 2023, approximately 40.7% of the total population lived in urban areas. The capital, Jamestown, is the largest urban center.

Ethnicity and language

• Ethnic composition: The people of St. Helena are of mixed heritage, with ancestry traced to European (mostly British), African, and South and East Asian peoples. The population is historically comprised of British sailors, East India Company settlers, African slaves, and laborers from China and India. Most "Saints," as the islanders are known, identify as British.
