According to allcitypopulation, the population of Comoros is estimated to be around 841,000 people, making it the 154th most populous country in the world. Most of the population is concentrated in the low-lying coastal regions of Ngazidja, Mwali and Nzwani. The ethnic groups present on Comoros are predominantly African, with a small minority of Arab and Malagasy origins. The majority of Comoros’ population is Sunni Muslim, although there are also some Christians and Hindus present. The official language is French, although other languages such as Shikomoro, Swahili and Arabic are also spoken. The population density in Comoros is relatively high compared to other countries in Africa, at 594 people per square kilometer. This figure has increased significantly over the past few decades due to a high birth rate and limited land area available for settlement. In addition to this, much of the population lives in rural areas due to limited access to urban areas. This has led to an increase in poverty levels across the country as well as an increase in unemployment rates among younger generations due to limited job opportunities available outside of farming activities. Despite these issues, however, Comoros has seen some economic growth over recent years due mainly to its expanding tourism industry which provides employment for many citizens across the islands.
