According to statistics, it has a current, reported population of just three people,[1] who reside on the island during the whole year. The inhabitants usually make a living from fishing and agriculture. In 1940-50 approximately 30 people made a living on the island and by late 1960 only two women remained on the island. The three residents who live on the island are not original residents.[2]
