The Telengits. Demographics: Population Dynamics, Urban/Rural Population, Gender and Age Breakdown
According to the 2020 All-Russian Population Census, there were 2,769 Telengits in the Altai Republic, including 1,336 men and 1,433 women. In the country as a whole there are 2916 people, including 1412 men and 1504 women.
SETTLEMENT: Telengits, like other representatives of the indigenous population of the Altai Republic, are settled mainly in the territory of traditional residence. At the same time, compared to the 2010 census, the territory of their settlement has expanded significantly. According to the 2020 сensus, at least two hundred Telengits permanently live in the territories of various regions of Russia. A significant part of those involved in labor “commuting” migration, according to empirical data, work on a rotational basis in the regions of the north of Western Siberia and the Far East.
