Abstract
This 2001 Population and Housing Census in Grenada marks the 12th census to be conducted in Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique, since the first exercise in 1871. Decennial censuses were conducted routinely until 1921. However, during 1921-1946, a period that coincided with the Great Depression and World War II, no censuses were taken in Grenada. The post World War period saw a re-emergence of census-taking in Grenada during 1946 and between 1946 and 1970, census enumerations indicated that the size of Grenada’s population had experienced positive growth. It should be noted that between the 1970 and 1991 censuses, the size of Grenada’s population had declined largely due to a series of nation-wide political events that impacted population growth in a negative way. During that period, amidst internal political strife, Grenada gained Independence from Britain in 1974, experienced a political revolution in 1979, and an invasion by military forces from the United States that resulted in the collapse of the revolution in 1983.

The enumerated population of Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique on Census Day the 12th Day of May 2001 stood at a total of 103,137 persons.
