Table explanation


This table summarizes the income of people in the Caribbean Netherlands; the islands of Bonaire, St. Eustatius, and Saba. Persons are differentiated according to sex, age, socio-economic category, position in the household and income level. The income level quartile groups are determined per island, since the income differences between the islands make a classification for the Caribbean Netherlands as a total difficult to interpret.

Population:
The population consists of the people in private households with income observed. The reference date is December 31 of the year under review.

Data is available starting from
2011.

Status of the figures:
The figures for 2011 to 2021 are final.
The figures for 2022 are provisional.

Changes June 28, 2024:
The figures for 2016 to 2020 have changed. For 2016 and later (more) complete registration declaration data are available. The correction leads to higher incomes, in particular for the working- and the wealthy population.
The final figures for 2021 and the provisional figures for 2022 are added.

When will new figures be published?
New figures are expected in September 2025.
