Springwind Islands had a population of 99,500 residents as of {{RP|2020}}, the majority of whom live in settlements around the islands. Historically, Euronesian Phinbellans of [[Zaipinichi Peranakan]], [[Greenlandic Martian]], and [[Yapreayan]] descent have collectively formed the majority of the population. Today, around two-thirds of the island's population is estimated to have mixed-race of [[Yapreayan]], [[Greenlandic Martian]] and [[Zaipinichi Peranakan]] origin (though just 21.2% of the population declared a Yapreayan ancestry in 2016), with significant numbers of [[wikipedia:Pahang Malays|Pahanese]] and [[Sanpō]] and smaller numbers of [[Hoennese people|Hoennese]] and [[Gogobugians]]. Several languages are in use, including [[Pyeongrang Malay]], [[wikipedia:Pitkern language|Pitkern]], and various [[Yapreayan language|Yapreayan]] dialects. [[wikipedia:Christianity|Christianity]], [[wikipedia:Shintoism|Shintoism]] and [[wikipedia:Islam|Umraism]] are major religions on the island. The religion question in the Phinbellan census is optional and 28% of the population do not declare their religious belief, if any.

The city is administered by the Phinbellan federal government's [[Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities]], and together with [[Boninki Islands]] (which is about 85 kilometres to the north-east) forms the [[Straits Settlements]] administrative unit. However, the islanders do have a degree of self-government through [[Shire of Springwind Islands|the local shire council]]. Many public services – including health, education, and policing – are provided by these department, and [[Straits Settlements law]] applies except where the federal government has determined otherwise.
