Statistics provided by the St Helena Government show that since the start of the airport construction population levels have steadily increased. The latest data showed a resident population in St Helena of 4,158 in September 2013. It is expected that population numbers in St Helena will increase in line with economic growth following the opening of the airport in 2016.
