Mayotte in numbers

Mayotte had 316,016 people in mid-2023, the 183rd-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports, and less than 0.01% of the world's people. That is 15.4 times its 1950 population of 20,526.

In the UN's medium projection it is still growing in 2100, when it reaches 1.4 million. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 350 thousand to 4.3 million.

Births outnumber deaths in every year from 1950 to 2100, estimates and projection alike.

The median age was 20.8 in 1950 and 17.8 in 2023; the projection has 35.5 in 2100. 2.7% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 16.7% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is still growing in 2100 in the medium projection.

Its place in the world by population: 183rd in 2023, 172nd in 2050, 151st in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes Vanuatu in 2025, Martinique in 2026 and Guadeloupe in 2029.

Mayotte, every age in every year

Each column is a year and each row an age; the denser the ink in a cell, the more people. Everyone born in the same year climbs one 45° diagonal, so famines, baby booms and migration show up as streaks. Select a cell to follow its generation.

Who does the work in Mayotte

In Mayotte the number of people aged 15–64 is still growing in 2100, the last year the UN projects. In 2023 there were 169,938 of them.

100 aged 15–64

81 children

aged 15–64 children under 15 aged 65 and over

How to read this: take 100 people of working age — the orange row — and the two rows under it are the children (teal) and the people of 65 and over (violet) who lived alongside them in 2023.

At no point between 1950 and 2100 do fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 here.

fewer than 50 dependants per 100 the same, projected 50 or more

How to read this: the strip runs 1950 to 2100. Coloured years are the ones with under 50 dependants for every 100 people aged 15–64; grey years are the rest, and a hatched year has not happened yet.

MYT · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in Mayotte, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Mayotte gains 622 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 15–19, at 1,075 a year more leaving than arriving.

one square = 100 people a year

020406080+

more arrive than leave more leave than arrive

How to read this: age runs left to right, babies to 100. A blue square above the line means arrivals outnumber departures at that age, an orange square below it means the opposite. The figures are the UN's projection for 2020–2025; nobody recorded migration by age before 2020.

Its best and worst years between 1950 and 2023: a gain of 2,707 (1994), and a loss of 8,195 (2018).

Displacement in Mayotte

UNHCR publishes no refugees, asylum-seekers or displaced people in or from Mayotte at the end of 2025.

An empty row is not the same as a zero. These figures cover the people one agency works with, so a country it has no operation in has nothing to report here.
