Denman Island has population and household characteristics that are not commonly seen in British Columbia. In the 2021 Census, Denman’s population was found to be 1,391. As is common in BC, this included more women than men (745 women and 650 men). Uncommonly, 40 percent of Denman’s population was over the age of 64 and only 11 percent was under the age of 20.
