Furthermore, the low levels of air pollution, abundance of social activities, well regulated working environment, access to pristine natural areas and arts and culture give Oans a quality of life. Metrics of happiness are surprisingly difficult to collect and study. The most reputable attempts include the National Quality of Life Satisfaction Index conducted by the Department of Home Affairs in 2020 states that among a representative sample of 5,000 people, 75% are extremely satisfied, 24% are satisfied, 1.8% are dissatisfied and 0.2% are extremely dissatisfied with their lives in the Oan Isles. Some of the dampeners of the quality of life in the Oan Isles include the population density, intensity of the rainy season, the late age at which people get married and have children because of social norms, and the anxiety around natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and floods.

The Oan Isles has a total population estimated at 18,650,000 as of 2021. The most populated city is Tauranga a te Toka with a population of 3,624,195 people, as of 2021 (19.5% of the total population). The most heavily populated province is Tokamotu with a population of 6,704,960 (36% of the total population). The top 5 most populated cities make up 58.2% of the population (about 10,839,750 people). The Home Islands have a population of 14,755,200 people (which is about 79.2% of the population) and the Kohatu Isles have a population of 3,869,800 people. 6 municipalities have populations of over 1 million, the lowest of which is also the only one from the Kohatu Isles to make it in the top 10, Mahakatepa.
The Oan Isles has a total population of 12 million people being the 18th most populated country in the UNAC. The average population density is 240 people per square kilometer (621 people per square mile), making the Oan Isles one of the most densely populated countries in the UNAC. Of the 36 Islands which comprise the Oan territory (including the three islands in the Kohatu archipelago in theCaven Sea), most of the population, about 70%, inhabits the following ten islands: Tokamotu, Koroimotu, Noamotu, Maungamotu, Manaakitangamotu and Gemica. This is probably because these islands have the largest contiguous areas of flat land and a disproportionate amount of deep natural harbours.


The rural population makes up 8% of the population. This population is typically engaged in mineral extraction, fishing, lumber and farming. The urban population makes up 92% of the population and dominates the country's cultural economic and political life. Females make up 50.1% of the population, while males make up 49.9% of the population. Children (people aged between 0 and 14 years of age) make up 19.9% of the population, senior citizens (people aged 60 and above) make up 18.3% of the population while working age adults between the ages of 15 and 59 make up 61.2% of the population. Assuming everyone above 60 and below 15 is a dependent, 1 working age adult has an average 0.376 dependents or approximately 3 adults support 1 dependent.
Over 80% of the population inhabit towns and cities. High population density and competition for resources and opportunities has made the cost of living of Oan cities very high. Nonetheless, people enjoy high standards of living. Cities and towns have committed to and implemented programs to increase green spaces and control carbon emission. The largest city is Tauranga o te Toka (with 2 million people) followed by the capital [[Tokapa]] (with 1 million people). The remaining top ten cities take up 75% of the population alone, with smaller towns housing the remaining 5% of the population that dwells in urban areas. Smaller islands such as the Sand Dune Islands house most of the rural population.
