French Polynesia Population Pyramid 2014
French Polynesia in 2014
In 2014, French Polynesia had a total population of 276,388 people. A decade earlier, in 2004, the population was 255,654; it has grown by 8.1% since.
The median age was 30.4 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 35.9 children under 15 and 10.3 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
