23.11% of the district's population are under 15 years old, while only 3.43% are over 65, making the district one of the youngest in Turku. The district's linguistic makeup is 50% Finnish, 4.51% Swedish, and 45% other. This reflects the fact that Halinen is one of the areas with the highest proportion of immigrants in the city, as well as one with a high student population.
