What exactly is the Pilot Census, and why is it important? 🏡🇹🇹
Think of it as a practice run for the National Population and Housing Census in 2027.
The Central Statistical Office (CSO) is conducting the Pilot Census in selected communities across Trinidad and Tobago to test its questions, systems and procedures, and identify areas for improvement before the national exercise.
📅 October 26 – December 16, 2026
If your household is selected, your participation will help the CSO prepare for Census 2027.
A successful Census starts with good preparation. And you can be part of it!
Together, we count
towards our nation's growth.
