Its overall population density is amongst the lowest in the world at 54.46 inhabitants per square mile (21.03/km²).

Over the last 79 years, that population has increased by 1.9 million, with the growth resulting from the combination of a strategic immigration scheme and a solid birth rate with families having two or three children. The rate of population growth has declined somewhat since the 1970s, but remains positive.

These communities can mostly be found in Kingsbury, Port Frederick, Corfe Harbour, and Lunenborough. Though they number less than 8% of the total population, these new migrant communities have already left their mark on New Ingrea's society and culture.
