| Hennehouwe has an estimated population of 12,632,000 as of April 2022, according to Central Statistics Office (CSB) estimates. As of the 2018 census, the population was recorded at 12,424,398. Hennehouwe is thus described as a 'medium small' country, and is the [[Euclean_Community#Member_states|sevent most populous of the twelve member states]] of the [[Euclean Community]]. It is among the most densely populated countries in [[Euclea]], with a density of 163.85 per square kilometre (424.40/sq mi). Since the end of the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]] in 1935, the country's population roughly doubled from 6.3 to 12.4 million. Much of the country's population is concentrated in the south and the east of the country, with the [[Kustland]], a region encompassing the area near the [[Euclea|Hennish Gulf]] including eastern [[Flamia]], southern [[Lower Stegeren]], [[s'Holle]] and [[Zilverzee]], containing around 6 million people, or around half of Hennehouwe's population. | | | cabinet_name = Second federal cabinet of Rupert van Bleiswijk |

| Hennehouwe does not record official figures relating to ethnicity or race; the CSB is forbidden from collecting such information following a 1996 federal court ruling. The country has five recognised native ethnic groups: {{wp|Dutch people|Hennish}}, {{wp|Walloons|Petois}}, [[Estmere|Estmerish]], {{wp|Frisian people|Dellish}}, and [[Lowland travellers]]. The distinction made between ethnic Henns, Hennish nationals and Hennish citizens in defining Hennish identity is ambiguous at an administrative level, owing to historical patterns of {{wp|pillarisation|segmentation}}, the country's very own history, and the constitutional guarantee of 'self-identification' with relation to ethnicity. Rather, official data distinguishes those who are foreign citizens (i.e. born outside of Hennehouwe and without Hennish citizenship), as well as those who have a ''foreign'' or ''multi-national'' background (i.e. had at least one parent of non-native origin). As of the 2018 census, there were 1,396,349 (11.2%) foreign citizens in Hennehouwe, whilst 2,950,826 (23.7%) had a ''foreign'' or ''multi-national'' background.

| The {{wp|total fertility rate}} in Hennehouwe is 1.78 per woman according to 2020 CSB estimates, which is higher than the [[Euclea|Euclean]] average, though still well below the {{wp|total fertility rate#replacement rates|population replacement rate}} of 2.1 per woman, and about a third of the rate of 5.38 per woman in 1887. The total fertility rate is higher among foreign citizens and those with a ''foreign'' or ''multi-national'' background compared with the rest of the population. Life expectancy in Hennehouwe is among the highest in the world, at 84.0 for females and 81.1 for males, with an average life expectancy rate of 82.5 according to CSB esimates in 2020.

| As of the 2018 census, 65.5% of the population identified as [[Sotirianity|Sotirianity]], with the dominant denominations being {{wp|Protestantism|Amendism}} at 33.2% and [[Solarian Catholic Church|Solarian Catholicism]] at 31.3%. With regard to the Amendist population, 22.5% belong to the [[Hennehouwe#Religion|United Hennish Church]], an amalgamation of a number of {{wp|Calvinism|Kasperist}} and {{wp|Lutheranism|Gospelite}} churches; a further 5.8% belong to the [[Hennehouwe#Religion|Reformed Confessional Church]], a conservative {{wp|Calvinism|Kasperist}} church; with 4.9% belonging to a number of other Amendist churches, including the [[Embrian Commonwealth]], [[Witterites|Witterite churches]] and others. Of the 1.0% who identify as other Sotirian, denominations represented include [[Episemialist Church|Episemialism]] and {{wp|Quakerism|Amicablism}}.

| The sectarian divide between Amendists and Catholics in Hennehouwe is informally defined by the river [[Hennehouwe#Geography|Zwarte]], splitting the country into the predominantly Amendist north and the Catholic south. The split dates back to the [[Amendist Reaction]] in the 16th century, in which Hennehouwe was one of the number of epicentres. It was during this period that the teachings of Stegeren-born [[Johan Kasper]] took hold in northern areas of the country, whose theologic doctrine developed into Kasperism. Other Amendist movements from further north also spread, most notably Gospelism. The spread of Amendism to the south of Hennehouwe was largely halted by the power and influence of the [[Flamia|Flamish Duchy]] and its allies, which remained loyal to the Solarian Church and the [[Gaullica|Gaullican monarchy]]. The growing divisions and tension between the two sides culminated in the [[Hennish Civil War]], which sealed the split via partition. Once Hennehouwe regained its full independence as a unified state, efforts to maintain peace between the two sides as well as to ensure respective continuity of the churches' dominion resulted in the adoption of {{wp|sphere sovereignty}} and {{wp|pillarisation|segmentation}}, which lasted until after the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]]. Decades of political, social and economic co-operation, combined wth the global trend of {{wp|ecumenism}}, led to the collapse of the segmentation system and closer integration between people of the two faiths in the post-War era.

| Whilst the country remains geographically divided on the basis of religious denomination to this today, there is little impact of this on societal interaction or mobility. Historically, Amendism has been the dominant religion by number of adherents, though the number of Amendists is roughly equal to that of Catholics as of the 2018 census, and is expected to be surpassed by the latter in 2030. However, the overall number of adherents to both Sotirian branches has been in decline since the 1960's. Increasing {{wp|secularism}} amongst the general public has led to a decline in church attendance across both denominations, as well as a decline in the numbers of those who view religion as an important part of their daily lives. The exception is in the [[Confessional Belt]], a stretch of land reaching from [[Geeland]] and [[Upper Stegeren]] to [[Lower Stegeren]], where predominantly conservative Kasperist beliefs remain dominant in daily life.

| [[File:Sint-Jans-Hertogenbosch.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Sint Johannus Cathedral in Zilverzee was a former Catholic church before being seized by Amendists in 1536. It is the largest Amendist church in Hennehouwe.]]
| |
| As of 2018, Amendists make up a majority in Geeland, [[Reekland]] and Upper Stegeren, and a plurality in [[Grotevlakte]] and Lower Stegeren. Catholics are a majority in [[Flamia]], [[Molenburg]] and [[Oudkessel-Witburg]], and a plurality in [[s'Holle]]. Catholics are also the plurality religion in [[Zilverzee]], though the total number of non-affiliated or irreligious are the plurality in terms of overall affiliation in that region. Catholicism is the dominant religion among the {{wp|Walloon|Petois}} population in the south of the country, as well as among the large [[Etruria|Etrurian diaspora]].
| |
|
| |
| The numbers of those who classify themselves as non-affiliated, irreligious or {{wp|atheism|atheist}} stands at 3,356,784 (27.0%) following the 2018 census. This number has seen particular growth over the last century, and is in line with a growing trend of {{wp|religious disaffiliation}} across [[Euclea]]. Those without an affiliation are expected to make up a plurality of the population by 2035.

| [[Irfan]] is the third-largest religion in Hennehouwe, and a relatively new religion to the country. 472,131 people (3.8%) identified as Irfan in the 2018 census, a number that has increased exponentially since the 1970's. Most Irfan in Hennehouwe are of a [[Coius|Coian]] migrant background, particularly from [[Irvadistan]], [[Tsabara]] and [[Yemet]]. Much of the Irfan population is concentrated in urban cities, particularly Zilverzee and s'Holle. The [[Irfan#Noordmazar]], located in Zilverzee, is one of the largest {{wp|mosque|mazars}} in Euclea.
| |
|
| |
| [[Atudism]] is the fourth-largest religion in the country, with 160,958 people recorded as adherents as of the 2018 census. Atudism has a long history in Hennehouwe, dating back to the forced migrations of the early second millenium. Initially dispersed in pockets of the country, Atudites came to settle in larger urban areas in the southern half of the country, including in s'Holle which became a sanctuary to those fleeing from the oppression of the [[Sotirian Commonwealth]], and later those from neighbouring countries. The largest Atudite community today is located in s'Holle, where some 57,000 people live.
| |
|
| |
| Other religions with significant populations in Hennehouwe include [[Badi]] at 0.9%, and [[Zohism]] at 0.7%. The growth of both groups has been as a result of migration from [[Coius]]. Another 0.8% identify as 'other' religious, including those who are spiritual but do not express ties to a specific religion or movement.
