1.4 million people in TT

A CSO statement yesterday said its Population, Social and Vital Statistics Division gave a breakdown of gender.

“This total consists of 679,288 males and 674,607 females,” said the statement, indicating TT has about 5,000 more males than females.

The statement said TT’s population was 1,213,733 (1.2 million) in 1990. By 2000 it grew to 1,262,366 (1.3 million) person. In 2011 TT had 1,328,019 (1.3 million) persons.

The 1.4 million mark was not attained until June of 2016. The mid-year estimates are calculated as at June of every year using the data from the preceding Population and Housing Census as a baseline. Births, deaths and estimated net migration are the data used when compiling mid-year estimates.
