== Demographics ==

In [[2020]], the population of Ventotene was 26,501. The majority of people living on Ventotene are associated with the [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]] base at Piona. As they are not permanent residents, and indeed many reside on ships, they are not typically counted towards the population of the island. The island's permanent population of around 20,000 has remained largely the same since the early 20th century.

~~=== Ethnic groups ===~~

Two self-described ethnic groups exist on the island, the Montagnardi and the Ateleti. The Ateleti, named for the primary city of the island, reside along the coasts and in villages adjoining the coast, whereas the Montagnardi reside in the interior highlands. 62% percent of the permanent population identify as Ateleti (both ethnically and by assimilation) whereas 35% percent identify as Montagnardi, with the remaining percentage typically being [[Urcean people|Urceans]] who settled on the island with small numbers of other immigrant groups.

~~=== Languages ===~~

Languages on the island are divided largely by ethnicity. 52% of Ventotene people speak Ateleti primarily, 34% speak Montagnardi primarily, and the remaining 14% primarily speak [[Julian Ænglish]]. Nearly the entire population is fluent in Julian Ænglish as a second language.

~~=== Religion ===~~

The vast majority of people on Ventotene belong to the [[Catholic Church]], with 92.1% being members. The majority of other people living on the island are irreligious, though small amounts of immigrants are adherents to Polynesian religious traditions.

~~=== Health ===~~

Health outcomes on Ventotene are generally good, with low rates of obesity relative to the rest of Urcea. The island was traditionally associated with positive health, a tradition which continues today. Among both groups of people, the average life expectancy on the island was around 81.2, considered good by most analysts.

~~=== Education ===~~

Educational attainment differs among the two primary groups of people on Ventotene. Among the Ateleti, educational attainment rates are good and comparable with the rest of the [[Occidental]] world. Among the Montagnardi, formal schooling is viewed with suspicion and most Montagnardi do not progress to secondary education, despite repeated efforts by the [[Government of Urcea]] to introduce a culture of education among them.
