It has a population of about 370; this includes about 60 inhabitants of the countryside surrounding the village. [CBS Google Earth 2006] The small Ameland Airport is located northwest of Ballum.

It is also the place of the municipal hall of Ameland. This building was built on the location where the castle of the Cammingha's once stood. This old and large castle, formerly the home of the lords of the island, was demolished in 1829.vanderAa-AW|B|66|Ballum|PA66]
