Bermuda Digest Of Statistics Available Online
The Bermuda Digest of Statistics 2014 was released today [Jan 19] by the Department of Statistics with the more than 60 statistical tables providing a wealth of data about Bermuda’s social, demographic and economic conditions.
“Wherever possible, a time series has been provided for the period 2003 to 2013,” a spokesperson said. “This publication is an excellent tool for research, school projects, marketing initiatives and business planning.”
Some of the statistics contained in the report:
- The number of Bermuda marriages has nearly halved to a record low over the last decade.
- In the past four years, there has been a decrease in the ratio of male births.
- Total births have remained at record lows, as deaths have risen.
- There were 34,277 filled jobs in 2013.
- Government expenditure exceeded revenue by $332 million [Fiscal year 2013/14].
- Total imports equaled a billion dollars.
- Air and cruise arrivals totaled just 576,373.
A spokesperson said, “The Digest has been revised and is structured into ten sections. Each section includes graphs and analyses to supplement the tables and identify trends in the data. Some tables from the previous edition have been removed because the data is no longer collected or is now in a different format.
“Also, in an effort to streamline processes and avoid duplication of data across Government, some tables that were previously available in the Bermuda Digest of Statistics have been removed.
“We encourage readers to contact the respective Government Department or organization directly to obtain this data. In some cases, the data is accessible from the stakeholders’ websites.”
