Wallis and Futuna in numbers

The UN counts 11,370 people in Wallis and Futuna in mid-2023, which makes it the 228th-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports, and less than 0.01% of the world's people. That is 1.3 times its 1950 population of 8,536.

Its population peaked in 2003 at 15,053 and has been falling since. The UN's medium projection has 6,877 in 2100. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 1,845 to 63,421.

The medium projection has deaths passing births in 2027 and staying above them from then on.

The median age was 15.4 in 1950 and 38.2 in 2023; the projection has 55.6 in 2100. 14.0% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 36.5% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) peaked in 2003 at 9,187; in 2023 it was 7,360.

Among countries it ranks 228th in 2023, 228th in 2050 and 230th in 2100. In the medium projection it overtakes the Cook Islands in 2034. It is overtaken by Saint Barthélemy in 2025 and Tuvalu in 2053.

Wallis and Futuna, 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 Wallis and Futuna

Wallis and Futuna had the most working-age people it is ever expected to have in 2003: 9,184 people aged 15–64, against 7,354 in 2023.

How to read this: the orange squares are 100 people aged 15–64 in 2023, and the rows below are how many children (teal) and how many people aged 65 or older (violet) lived alongside them.

Fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 in 6 years: 2029–2034.

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

How to read this: 1950 on the left, 2100 on the right; coloured in the years with fewer than 50 dependants per 100 working-age people, grey in the rest, hatched where that is a projection.

How every country compares

WLF · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in Wallis and Futuna, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Wallis and Futuna loses 92 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 21 a year more leaving than arriving.

one square = 2 people a year

020406080+

more arrive than leave more leave than arrive

How to read this: left to right is age, from babies to 100. Blue squares above the line are ages at which more people arrive than leave; orange squares below it, ages at which more leave than arrive. These are the UN's projection for 2020–2025. There is no record of migration by age before 2020.

In the years that were counted, 1950–2023, the most it gained in one year was 233 (1982) and the most it lost was 468 (2007).

Displacement in Wallis and Futuna

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

That is an absence from the record rather than a measurement. This count covers the people one agency works with, and a country it does not work in is simply not in it.
