In the six years between 1783 and 1789, the population of the Bahamas almost tripled, from 4.1 thousand to 11.3 thousand. This population growth was driven by an influx of slave labor, as the number of black inhabitants grew from 2.3 thousand to approximately eight thousand. In comparison, the number of white inhabitants grew from 1.7 thousand to 3.3 thousand. In percentages, the white population grew by 91 percent in these six years, whereas the black population increased by over 242 percent. Records show that over sixty percent of the population lived on New Providence in both 1783 and 1786, and New Providence remains the most populous island in the Bahamas today.

Comprehensive socio-economic dataset for Bahamas including population demographics, economic indicators, geographic data, and social statistics. This dataset covers key metrics such as GDP, population density, area, capital city, and regional classifications.

About this dataset

Context

This list ranks the 3 cities in the Nassau County, FL by Bahamian population, as estimated by the United States Census Bureau. It also highlights population changes in each city over the past five years.

Content

When available, the data consists of estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates, including:

• 2019-2023 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates
• 2014-2018 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates
• 2009-2013 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates

Variables / Data Columns

• Rank by Bahamian Population: This column displays the rank of city in the Nassau County, FL by their Bahamian population, using the most recent ACS data available.
• City: The City for which the rank is shown in the previous column.
• Bahamian Population: The Bahamian population of the city is shown in this column.
• % of Total City Population: This shows what percentage of the total city population identifies as Bahamian. Please note that the sum of all percentages may not equal one due to rounding of values.
• % of Total Nassau County Bahamian Population: This tells us how much of the entire Nassau County, FL Bahamian population lives in that city. Please note that the sum of all percentages may not equal one due to rounding of values.
• 5 Year Rank Trend: This column displays the rank trend across the last 5 years.

Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus, Bloch 1792) are globally critically endangered and an important fishery species in The Commonwealth of The Bahamas (hereafter The Bahamas) and parts of the Caribbean, with an urgent need for better management and conservation. Here, we adopted a combined approach, integrating restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) and acoustic telemetry to establish country-wide demographic structure, diversity and connectivity, and the origins of Nassau grouper using an active fish spawning aggregation (FSA) in the central Bahamas. RAD-seq analysis of 94 Nassau grouper sampled from nine locations in The Bahamas generated a working dataset of 13,241 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Similar levels of genetic diversity were found among sampled locations. Evidence of population sub-structuring across The Bahamas was demonstrated and supported by discriminate analysis of principal components (DAPCs) along with analyses of molecular variance (AMOVAs). Associated acoustic telemetry data indicated Nassau grouper tagged at an active FSA in the central Bahamas during the 2016–2017 spawning season migrated to the Exumas at the conclusion of the spawning period. Telemetry data suggest the likely origins of five individuals, which traveled one-way distances of up to 176 km from the FSA in the central Bahamas to two sites within a no-take marine protected area (MPA). Analyses of high-resolution SNP markers (including candidate loci under selection) illustrated patterns of spatial structure and genetic connectivity not reflected by telemetry data alone. Nassau grouper from Exuma and Long Island appear to have genetic signatures that differ from other islands and from the Hail Mary FSA. Collectively, these findings provide novel information on the intraspecific population dynamics of Nassau grouper within The Bahamian archipelago and within an active FSA.
