…a marginal reduction of 3,339 in 2002

THE population of Guyana, counted on September 15, 2012, Census Day, was recorded at 747,884, according to a preliminary report of the Guyana Population and Housing Census, 2012, released yesterday morning at the Guyana Convention Centre, Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown. This data shows that there has been a marginal reduction of 3,339 persons from the population count of 751,223 that was recorded in 2002.
According to census 2012, Guyana’s coastland population stands at 666,261 persons. This count reflects the reality of the greatest concentration of Guyana’s population living within the coastland regions.
Although, the Coastal Plain represents the smallest physical geographic area of Guyana, it includes six of the ten administrative regions. The heavily populated zone boasts the majority of commercial activities being conducted in the country.
Both previous and current censuses have revealed that Demerara-Mahaica (Region 4), among the six administrative regions of the coastal bloc, holds the largest proportion of the population. This was closely followed by Region 6 (East Berbice- Corentyne) and Region 3 (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara). Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Upper Berbice) was recorded as the least populated area of the regions within the coastal bloc.
Hinterland Population
The population in the hinterland regions at present stands at 81,623 persons, which represent 10.9 percent of the total population.
In absolute terms, the population of the hinterland bloc has increased significantly. This increase was recorded possibly because of the increase in mining activities, to which migrant workers from other regions in Guyana have relocated for economic gains.
The hinterland regions of Guyana are recorded as comprising approximately two-thirds (approximately 145,353km2) of the land area of Guyana. They include Region 1 (Barima-Waini), Region 7 (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), Region 8 (Potaro-Siparuni), and Region 9 (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo).
Urban-Rural Distribution
Generally, the population has declined in the urban areas and continues to do so. Urban distribution refers to segments of the population that are found within the urban centres and settlements. The difference in the figures reflects a decrease in the urban population to 26.4 percent, when compared to the 2002 census of 28.4 percent.
According to reports, 202,992 urban dwellers were recorded in 2002, compared to 191,810 in 2012. Of the total number of rural settlers in 2002 and 2012, there was a record of 528,323 rural dwellers in 2002 and 535,193 in 2012.
