Population
I noticed the population of the entire municipality (307) doesn't match up with the populations of the individual islands in the table under "Demographics" (adding up to 479). Does anybody know where the source for the populations listed here is? What should be changed in the article, if anything at all? --Dodasprak (talk) 02:16, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know, but a few possibilities come to mind:
 * The higher figure could be out-of-date: the population has been dropping since 1990 or so.
 * The municipal boundaries may not match geographic ones (although personally I doubt this is the explanation).
 * The lower figure could be just the year-round population, while the higher one possibly includes seasonal residents.
 * (The last one would be my guess, but that's all it is — a guess.)
 * Anyway, I checked, and the official population figure per Statistics Finland is 307, as at end of March 2021, and those stats are usually very reliable, so I'd keep that and question anything else. HTH, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:29, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
