What is barbados' population as of August 2009?

Answer 1

I've been in Barbados since 24th August, 2009, and so far I've counted close to 5,500 individuals. This number includes those I have seen walking the streets of Bridgetown, on the buses, or driving in their cars on the ABC Highway. Rumor has it, there are considerably more Bajans on island but they are hiding out in caves on Hillaby Mountain. They fear they will be remove from the list of English speaking countries since other Anglophones cannot understand a word when they speak. This number is estimated to be around 270,000, but this is pure conjecture since I haven't been actually out to count them. To the author of the question, it is very difficult to correctly and accurately know the population of ANY country at a given time as the only way to be sure is through a full census. This approach is expensive, time consuming and can prove self defeating as during the time it would take to count everyone, persons are giving birth and others are dying. Unless we can get everyone to stand still and stop what they are doing for a few months, we wouldn't know... final answer - approx 300,000...
