The Statistical Institute of Jamaica (STATIN) has revealed the population grew by 2.8 per cent from 2011 to 2022, as it yesterday released the long-anticipated census, bringing an end to a gruelling process that faced several irregularities. Among those irregularities, STATIN has confirmed, were the non-recovery of a number of devices used to collect personal data and a break-in at the census office. In the results released yesterday, STATIN indicated the population had grown to 2,774,538.
