Salvadorans (Spanish: Salvadoreños), also known as Salvadorians, are people who identify with El Salvador in Central America. Salvadorans are mainly Mestizos (mixed European and Amerindian heritage) who make up the bulk of the population in El Salvador. Most Salvadorans live in El Salvador, although there is also a significant Salvadoran diaspora, particularly in the United States, with smaller communities in other countries around the world. El Salvador's population was 6,218,000 in 2010, compared to 2,200,000 in 1950. In 2010, the percentage of the population below the age of 15 was 32.1%, 61% were between 15 and 65 years of age, while 6.9% were 65 years or older.
