Everybody (including Wikipedia, until yesterday) says that Zamami has 1000 people. I regurgitated this number to those who asked because I had no reason to doubt it - the mayor even told me. Well, when my parents were here my mom inquired at the information desk and they gave her much more exact, lower numbers.
Recently the new census came out and here are the numbers:
Zamami Island: 608 (281 women, 327 men)
this is broken down between Zamami (447) and the smaller hamlets of Asa (79) and Ama (82)
Aka: 307 (145 women, 162 men)
Geruma: 69 (38 women, 31 men)
The three-island total is 984.
