How many villagers are in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a question asked often by completionists. To some, meeting and inviting every villager in the game is a worthy task, so it's nice to know just how many invites you'll need to reach it.

It's important to remember, however, there is a distinction between regular townie villagers and special villagers such as vendors, Isabelle, and K.K. Slider. They won't be counted in this list as they don't have normal schedules and don't behave as regular villagers do. Keep in mind one can only have ten villagers living on their island at a time.

Additionally, we have a list of specific villagers confirmed in Animal Crossing for those looking to plan out their town.

How Many Villagers Are in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

There are 402 total villagers in New Horizons. Each villager has a unique personality type according to their gender. Currently, villagers can have any one of eight personalities—four for men and four for women. Men's personalities are exclusively Cranky, Jock, Lazy, and Smug while women are Normal, Peppy, Snooty, or "Uchi"—otherwise known as Sisterly.

There types mirror each other a bit and it's often easy to tell which types get along. Smug is the counterpart to Snooty and Jocks tend to get along with Peppy personalities. Normal villagers do well with Uchi. Cranky is a bit of a hit or miss, but they tend to do fairly well with Lazy.

There are 56 Cranky villagers, 55 Jock, 62 Lazy, 35 Smug, 60 Normal, 51 Peppy, 57 Snooty, and 25 Uchi. Clearly, Uchi is the rarest villager personality type. Don't miss out on the opportunity to have Agnes or Cherry come stay in your town.
