The Pitcairn Islanders are descended primarily from nine British HMS Bounty mutineers and twelve Tahitian women.

In 2023, the territory had a permanent population of 35, making it the smallest territory in the world by number of permanent residents.

Owing to the island's extreme isolation and small population, incidents of widespread sexual abuse went undetected until 1999, culminating in a high-profile sexual assault trial in 2004.
