Aland Islands: cities by population
Aland Islands has a population of 26,711, with Mariehamn as its capital. The 21 largest of its 21 recorded towns and cities, ranked.
Figures are the latest available in GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), which draws on national censuses of varying dates — treat them as recent, not same-year. Country totals are UN World Population Prospects 2024 (medium variant) where the UN lists the country separately; the handful it reports under a parent state keep a GeoNames figure and are marked as such. Sources & method.
The UN's World Population Prospects does not list Aland Islands separately — it is reported under a parent state, or is not a UN member — so the total above comes from GeoNames and carries no stated vintage. Treat it as approximate.
Treat these figures with care. The settlements listed below sum to 44,062, against a national population of 26,711. Some overlap is normal where towns run together, but a gap this wide suggests the underlying figures for Aland Islands are unreliable, and we have not been able to verify them independently.
