Wallis and Futuna's population is projected to have slipped past its peak: from a high of 15,053 in 2003, it is projected at 11,113 in 2026. That is up 30% from 8,536 in 1950. The population is shrinking by 0.72% a year. Population density sits at 79 people/km². Half the population is younger than 38.6 years, and the age structure is steadily tilting older: the median is projected to reach 43.0 by 2050. Women outnumber men, at 91 males per 100 females. By 2100, UN projections see it falling to 6,878 (-38% from 2026).
