Guyana just dropped some wild census numbers showing massive population growth everywhere. The official count hit 878,674 residents which marks a huge jump of nearly eighteen percent since the previous tally. Calculations suggest the total approaches one million people after accounting for recent migration. Errol La Creuz and Vanessa Profit handed these stats to Ashni Singh at the Arthur Chung Conference Centre.
Region Four stays the most crowded spot, holding almost forty percent of everyone. Region Three surprisingly overtook Region Six to grab second place for population size. Region Seven recorded the fastest annual surge in residents. Most people still live on the coast while the hinterlands remain sparsely populated despite seeing some expansion.
Males officially outnumber females for the first time in ages, reversing the earlier trend. Foreign-born locals tripled their share of the pie although undocumented residents likely slipped through the cracks. The number of households spiked significantly while the average family size shrank down. Building stock nationwide surged by forty-two percent, with construction booming particularly hard in mining areas.
This massive headcount used tablet technology for the first time rather than paper. Two thousand temporary workers hit the streets to gather all this info. The government claims these figures will dictate where money gets spent on infrastructure and services. Ashni Singh says the final polished report arrives later to help guide policy decisions.
