List of islands by population

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of islands in the world ordered by population, which includes all islands with more than 100,000 people. For comparison, continental landmasses are also shown, in italics. The population of the world's islands is over 730 million, approximately 9% of the world's total population. Of those, only Java (Indonesia) and Honshu (Japan) have populations over 1% of the global population.

Islands ordered by population

[edit]

Due to the uncertainty of what exactly constitutes a geographic island, as opposed to an administrative region or a continent, please see comments about what is included in the figures: the statistics for some "islands" include other nearby islands.
