The 2022 population census for St. Maarten revealed a steady growth trend, indicating an increase in the island's population compared to previous years. Additionally, the census highlighted demographic shifts, including changes in age distribution and ethnic composition, providing valuable insights for future planning and resource allocation.

This publication examines the major population developments of the 2011 census, while also looking at historical trends of the previous 2001 census and prior. These results are meant to make a meaningful contribution towards increased evidence-based national planning, policy-setting and will hopefully strengthen new and existing programs tailored to the needs of various sub-groups within our community.
