This chart shows the change over time in the number of Tristanians with residency status, whether living on the island or temporarily overseas for medical, educational or other reasons. It does not include Tristanians who have left the island permanently and lost their residency status.

This chart shows the change over time in the number people actually living on Tristan da Cunha, whether native islanders or expatriate workers and their families. It excludes islanders who are temporarily living overseas. It also does not include transient visitors on cruise ships, yachts and other vessels, who are normally only on Tristan for a day or two. It does, however, include visitors on the annual SA Agulhas II voyage, who stay for about three weeks.
