Population

Thanks to her central location, Omu-Aran is the most thickly populated of all Igbomina towns, with a population of about 55,000 (2001 estimate).

Largely agrarian, the population is made up of a great percentage of the aged and adolescents who are the main home settlers. A great percentage of the working -age adults is settled outside the confines of the town, thriving in all areas of life, particularly in Nigeria's city centers including Lagos, Kaduna, Abuja etc - as well as outside the shores of the country.

The Omu-Aran population is also a combination of indigenes and non-indigenes. The indigenes speak the Igbomina dialect of the Yoruba language among themselves and speak general Yoruba language among themselves and speak general Yoruba and the English language with non-indigenes. The non indigenes consist of government employees both at the local and state levels, a significant community of the Igbo, as well as nationals from all parts of Nigeria, far and near, and a few non-Nigerians.
