Notes

With the exception of Canton Island, all population figures come from the Secretariat of the Pacific Community. The SPC is an international organization that provides assistance, training and other services to most Pacific Island nations, including Kiribati. The census was done in 2005. The population of Canton Island is 28 according to an August 2008 visitor.

Area figures come from the United Nations Environment Programme. Most areas were measured between 1988-1990.
