- List of European islands by population
This is a list of
island s in Europe ordered by population. The list is not complete.Islands with a population over 10,000
Notes
* Population figures of
Alderney ,Sark andHerm are deducted from the population ofBailiwick of Guernsey . These three islands are part of theBailiwick of Guernsey , but are separate islands.
* The Swedish Wikipedia article Södermalm argues thatSödermalm is not an island. I still include it along with other islands within Stockholm, such asKungsholmen andLidingö . AlsoSödertörn could be included, since both it and Södermalm can be rounded with a boat. Usually Södertörn is not seen as an island. Part of the boat passage is a dug canal with a lock.
* It could be argued that some islands ofSaint Petersburg , most notablyVasilievsky Island andKamenny Island , should be added. But it is hard to find any statistics on them which is not in Russian.
* It is hard to find statistics onÎle de la Cité andÎle Saint-Louis , the two islands in theSeine inParis , or to decide whether they belong to the list.
* Population figures of some small islands ofIceland (f.exHeimaey are deducted from the population of the republic ofIceland .
* The population figure ofHisingen (a part ofGothenburg ) is calculated in the Swedish Wikipedia article Hisingen to be 126 623.
* The population figures ofOrust andTjörn are deducted with 1.000 from the municipalities and rounded, since there are few small villages on other islands.
* The population figure ofEkerö is uncertain, because the municipality of Ekerö also include some other islands. The figure is roughly estimated.
*Madeira Islands andAzores Islands of Portugal are not included, as they are not European islands.
*Canary Islands of Spain are likewise not included, as they are not European islands either.References
* Population figures are most often from the English, German, French, Spanish, Italian or Scandinavian
