The municipality has a population of 552 (31 August 2017)[2] and covers an area of 1,869.07 square kilometres (721.65 sq mi) of which 1,734.24 km2 (669.59 sq mi) is water.[1] The population density is 4.1 inhabitants per square kilometre (11/sq mi). The municipality is unilingually Swedish, yet in the last decade there has been some immigration from Estonia and Latvia due to the need of employees at the fish farms, the main industry in Föglö. The municipality is connected only by ferries to Lumparland which has a road connection to Mariehamn, and by ferries to mainland Finland.
