The number of residents of the Russian Federation amounted to 142 million 857 thousand people. It turned out that over the same period, 8.5 thousand villages in Russia died out. The Russian Federation took 8th place in the world in terms of population after China (1 billion 335 million people), India (1 billion 210 million people), USA (309 million people), Indonesia (238 million people), Brazil (191 million people), Pakistan (165 million people) and Bangladesh (147 million people).

The ratio of urban and rural residents in Russia was 74% and 26%, respectively. Russians live in 2 thousand 386 cities and towns and 134 thousand villages and hamlets. Moreover, back in 2002, rural settlements there were 8.5 thousand more, that is, the Russian village continues to die out. In addition, the country has lost 1 millionaire city: Perm recently lost this status, so there are now 12, not 13, megacities in the Russian Federation. The most populated federal districts of Russia remain Central (38.4 million people), Volga (29.9 million people) and Siberian (19.3 million people). The first of them even “gained weight”: in 8 years its population grew by 400 thousand people. The least populated are the Far Eastern Federal District (6.3 million people) and the North Caucasus Federal District (9.4 million people). At the same time, the Caucasus demonstrated a significant increase in population by 500 thousand inhabitants at once.

The permanent population of our regional region in 2010 was 497 thousand 973 people. The Sakhalin region ranks 5th in the Far Eastern region in terms of this indicator. We are ahead of the Primorsky Territory, Khabarovsk Territory, the Republic of Sakha and the Amur Region. Compared to the last population census, the number of people living in Sakhalin region people decreased by 48 thousand 722 people.

Half of the island's total urban population is concentrated in three cities in the southern part of Sakhalin - Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (181,728 people), Korsakov (33,526 people) and Kholmsk (30,937 people). Compared to the last census in 2002, the regions of the region tend to have an increasing proportion of the urban population compared to previous data.

The most numerous nationality among Sakhalin residents was predictably Russian (86.5%). In second place is the Korean diaspora (5.3%), followed by Ukrainians (2.6%) and Tatars (1%). Other nationalities are represented by less than 1%. 24 thousand (about 5%) of Sakhalin residents surveyed in 2010 exercised the right not to report their nationality during the census.

The average age of a Sakhalin resident is 37.8 years for men and 39.9 years for women. Residents of the islands receive their main income from work; the share of providing for themselves by running their own household has decreased.
