People and Society of Clipperton Island

Clipperton Island is an uninhabited French possession located in the eastern Pacific Ocean, approximately 1,080 kilometers southwest of Mexico. Because the island has no permanent human population, conventional life expectancy statistics — which measure the average number of years a newborn can expect to live based on current mortality patterns within a resident population — do not apply here in any meaningful sense. No births are recorded on Clipperton Island, and no civilian residents live there.
