So I was wondering what the population of Arkadia was before the whole A.L.I.E stuff, so i decided to work it out:

When Farm Station made contact with the rest of the Arkadians, there were 63 survivors, but it's said that they left with 3 times that many, meaning they had 189 people when the Ark came down. But when the Ark came down, there was roughly 1,000 people onboard. If all 11 stations (12 stations minus GoSci) were filled with an equal amount of people, that means that there was an average of 91 people per station. If we find an average of 189 and 91, we get 140 per station. Let's say that both Alpha and Mecha Stations both had this amount of people onboard. So Alpha + Mecha = 280 people + 1 (Mel from Factory Station) + 42 (45 surviving Delinquents minus Clarke, Murphy and Octavia who no longer live in Arkadia) + 63 (Farm Station survivors) = 386.

So we can conclude from this that approximately 386 members of Skaikru live in Arkadia. However, this number may be inaccurate as I have not accounted for deaths of citizens such as Shawn Gillmer.
