    Population and Housing Census [hh/popcen]
    Series Information

    St. Vincent and the Grenadines conducted its first census in 1871 and since that time a census has been conducted every 10 years except for longer intervals such as the period between 1931 and 1960. The 2001 Population and Housing Census was the most recent and the next expected Population and Housing Census to be conducted should be in 2010.
    Abstract

    The Caribbean Community Council of Ministers, acting on the advice and recommendations of the Standing Committee of Caribbean Statisticians (SCCS), in February 2000, approved the use of a regionally coordinated approach for the 2000 Round of Population and Housing Censuses. The strategy included an activity on the Analysis and Dissemination of Census Data and Results, which comprised the preparation of National Census Reports (NCRs) and Regional Special Topic Monographs (RSTMs).

    In St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the Statistical Office of the Central Planning Division, Ministry of Finance, Planning and Development was responsible for conducting the 2001 Census. This office worked closely with the National Census Advisory Committee and took advantage of the assistance from the CARICOM Secretariat and from the OECS. Census Day was June 12, 2001.

    Questionnaires

    Data for the enumerated population were taken from the Visitation Records (VR) that the enumerators completed when they conducted the census exercise. The VRs provided only basic information on the number of persons, by sex that are members of the household on Census Day. All the detailed information on the characteristics of the population such as age, country of birth, ethnicity, religion and education level, were obtained from the census questionnaires. During a census, there are certain persons who would agree to give the basic information for the VR, and be counted, but would refuse to give detailed information about themselves. In such cases, a questionnaire is not completed for these persons. Therefore, such persons are counted in the enumerated population, but are not included in the tabulable population, which comprises the detailed characteristics of each person that responded to the census questionnaire. This situation results in an enumerated population that is higher than the tabulable population.
