1. Overview
“Two British attempts at establishing the island as a penal colony (1788-1814 and 1825-55) were ultimately abandoned. In 1856, the island was resettled by Pitcairn Islanders, descendants of the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian companions.”
CIA's The World Factbook (2013)5
As a territory of Australia I do not have many specific statistics for this territory in its own right.

There isn't much information in the database for Norfolk Island, most likely because it is either a part of another country (i.e., a territory or possession) and therefore most international statistics are counted for the country as a whole, or, this is such an exotic place that little data exists about it.
