Compendium of Statistics 2023 Released

The 2023 Compendium reveals growing demand for social assistance in the Cayman Islands, with increased support for families facing housing, utility, and burial cost burdens. This rise contrasts with a slight decrease in direct poor relief, highlighting a shift toward targeted aid for essentials like education and healthcare. Environmental data shows a decline in incinerated waste, while landfill management remains high, underscoring the critical need for robust statistical tracking of sustainability efforts. This report is vital to open data because it centralizes diverse public and private sector metrics into an accessible format. By making granular socioeconomic and environmental statistics publicly available, it enables transparent governance, informed policy-making, and community engagement with the nation’s development trajectory.
