The percentage of Yakuts in the districts of Yakutia, in the 2010 census. Currently, Yakuts form a large plurality of the total population within the vast Republic of Sakha. According to the 2010 Russian census, there were a total of 466,492 Yakuts residing in the Sakha Republic during that year, or 49.9% of the total population of the Republic.
The Yokuts were reduced by around 93% between 1850 and 1900, with many of the survivors being forced into indentured servitude sanctioned by the so-called "California State Act for the Government and Protection of Indians". A few Valley Yokuts remain, the most prominent tribe among them being the Tachi Yokut.

In addition, the Yakut people were subject to deportation under Stalinism. Forced resettlement in Churapcha ulus resulted in significant losses of the Yakut population (more than 1,700 people), mainly among the elderly, women and children.

In 1900, the population of the Yakutsk Oblast was 262,703 (134,134 men and 128,569 women).

Prior to their resettlement, the Yakuts were somewhat influenced by the then-dominant Mongolian culture. [7] [8] [9] The Yakuts originally lived around Olkhon and the region of Lake Baikal. Beginning in the 13th century they migrated to the basins of the Middle Lena, the Aldan and Vilyuy rivers under the pressure of the rising Mongols.
After the Yakuts adopted Christianity from the Russians, they began to use Russian clerical names in official concerns. The naming conventions are similar to those of Russian names . The original Sakha names were used in unofficial settings, but eventually the official clerical names dominated.
