Spoiler note: This guide names the six areas where civilian castaways are found, but does not provide a verified, complete room-by-room checklist. Game8’s guide counts 43 civilian castaways across those areas; check its location entries or your in-game map for each exact position and cave floor.
How many castaways are there in Pikmin 4?
Game8’s Rescue All Castaways guide counts 43 civilian castaways. That figure is attributed to Game8’s guide, not to Nintendo. It is the civilian-castaway objective, so do not treat leaflings or every rescue-related character as part of the same count.

You can visit castaway locations in different orders, but the order characters are rescued is fixed, according to Pikipedia’s rescue overview. The route you take and the sequence of names added to your rescued characters are therefore separate things.
All six areas with castaways
Game8 groups the civilian castaway locations into six areas. Its area and interactive map guide is a useful companion for navigating them.

The available guide information confirms examples of cave entries, but not a complete set of individual locations, cave sublevels, or access requirements. Among the named examples are Last-Frost Cavern and Industrial Maze in Sun-Speckled Terrace; Subzero Sauna and Engulfed Castle in Serene Shores; and Dream Home and Ultimate Testing Range in Giant’s Hearth. These examples are not a full checklist, and no precise floor or position is asserted here.
Castaways, leaflings, and other rescues
Leaflings are distinct from ordinary civilian castaways. Many are encountered through Dandori Challenges or Dandori Battles, while some are found in caves. Pikipedia notes that the cured-character sequence is independent of the order in which leaflings are found.

Shepherd also counts as a rescue, but is not a castaway in the same sense. Keep these categories separate when checking whether you have completed the civilian castaway objective.

Nintendo describes the Rescue Command Post as the place to talk with found castaways and prepare for excursions. Rescued characters can unlock features or side missions, so return to the post and speak with them as you make progress. Nintendo also notes that caves have multiple floors and that Rewind Time lets you retry an approach.
