Method
Every year, the CBS publishes data on the population of Curaçao for the previous year. This report presents the population data for 2025. The data are obtained from Kranshi, the Office of Public Affairs, which maintains records of vital life events -births, marriages, divorces, migration, and deaths- that occur on Curaçao. CBS receives this data from The Office of Public Affairs annually.
Before analysis, the data is cleaned to remove inconsistencies, such as duplicate entries for the same person or event and records of events from previous years that may have been registered in the current year. The cleaned dataset is then analyzed.
The analysis covers all changes that took place between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025. Events occurring on or after January 1, 2026, are not included in this analysis but will be part of the following year’s report.
