French Polynesia in 2010
In 2010, French Polynesia had a total population of 270,580 people. A decade earlier, in 2000, the population was 240,337; it has grown by 12.6% since.
Half of the population was younger than 28.7 years; 25.9% were children under 15 and 6.2% were 65 or older. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
