The demographic report of  The 2011 Census Demographic Report is the first volume of a series to be published, giving the results of the 2011 Population and Housing Census, which was conducted by the Central Statistical Office of Trinidad and Tobago (CSOTT)  during the period 9th January -31st May 2011. Trinidad and Tobago has maintained an unbroken tradition of conducting decennial Censuses dating back to 1851.

The 2011 Population and Housing Census was conducted as part of the Caribbean Community, CARICOM, Secretariat’s regionally coordinated approach to census taking for the 2010 Round of Population and Housing Censuses. The Central Statistical Office of Trinidad and Tobago has actively participated as a member of the Regional Census Co-ordinating Committee (RCCC) of CARICOM, in the formulation of the regional strategy to promote the use of uniform concepts and definitions and a common core of questions for the purpose of producing comparable, high-quality data, which can be useful for monitoring social and demographic developments across the region.

The Census Demographic Report establishes the household as the general framework in which most individuals are identified, since the majority of the population live in households. The second framework comprises collective living quarters which are intended for habitation by large groups of individuals or several households.
