전체 인구 1만여 명 Total population of 10 thousand odd Total population of more than 10 thousand 여: ‘그 수를 넘음’의 뜻을 더하는 접미사. 여 is a suffix which means "more than, over, above" e.g. 백여 명 a hundred odd men 20여 년 more than twenty years

it means 'about/around'. but the number should be more than the inticated number. ex) 10여명 : about 10 people (but more than 10)
