According to allcitypopulation, the population of Marshall Islands is estimated to be around 55,000 people. The majority of the population is Micronesian, with a small minority of Polynesian and other ethnicities. The largest city in the Marshall Islands is Majuro, which makes up over half of the total population. The other major cities are Ebeye and Kwajalein. The population density of the islands is quite low, with only about 70 people per square mile. This low density has allowed for some unique ecosystems to develop on the islands, such as mangrove forests and coral reefs. Despite its low density, the population of Marshall Islands is growing at a rate of 1% each year due to high birth rates and immigration from neighboring countries such as Kiribati and Nauru. The main religion practiced on the islands is Christianity, although traditional Marshallese beliefs are still observed in some areas. Education levels are relatively high compared to other Pacific nations; however there are still challenges facing educational access in rural areas where resources may be more limited than in urban centers.
