Numbers are roughly stable, edging down 0.08% a year. Settlement is fairly dense, at 147 people/km². Half the population is younger than 46.3 years, and the age structure is steadily tilting older: the median is projected to reach 48.7 by 2050. The sexes are close to evenly balanced, at 98 males per 100 females. By 2100, UN projections see it falling to 58,065 (-31% from 2026).
