Demographics
[edit]According to the 2014 Moldovan census, Fuzăuca had a population of 719 residents.[1] All inhabitants lived in a rural setting, resulting in a population density of approximately 40.85 people per square kilometer across the village’s 17.60 km² area.[3] Between 2004 and 2014, the population saw a slight annual decrease of 1.3%, indicating a gradual demographic decline.[3]
The gender distribution was fairly balanced, with women representing a slight majority at 52% (374 individuals) compared to men at 48% (345 individuals).[3] In terms of age structure, the working-age population (15–64 years) accounted for 67.9% (488 people), while children under 15 made up 19.7% (142 people). Seniors aged 65 and older represented 12.4% (89 people), suggesting a modest aging trend within the community.[3]
Ethnically, Fuzăuca is notably diverse. Ukrainians comprised the majority at 51.1% (362 residents), followed closely by Moldovans at 46.9% (332 residents). A small minority of 2% (14 individuals) identified as Russians. This diversity is reflected in the village's linguistic makeup: 48.7% of the population reported Ukrainian as their native language, 33.9% Moldovan, 9.4% Romanian, and 8% Russian.[3]
Despite its ethnic and linguistic variety, Fuzăuca is religiously homogeneous, with 100% of the population identified as Orthodox in the census.[3]
Overall, Fuzăuca's demographic profile paints a picture of a small, multiethnic rural village with a slightly declining and aging population, strong Orthodox religious cohesion, and a significant Ukrainian cultural presence.[3]
