Data sources

1990 Commune data from National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE):

http://www.insee.fr/

http://www.insee.fr/vf/chifcles/rp90/index.htm

Since commune boundaries were unavailable for Guadeloupe, the 34 commune population figures were aggregated to produce pop figures for the individual islands of Guadeloupe:

  • La Basse-Terre
  • La Grande-Terre
  • Marie Galante
  • Les Saintes
  • La Désirade
  • Les îles du Nord
  • Saint Martin
  • Saint Barthélemy et un groupe d'îlots inhabités:
  • Les Iles de la Petite Terre

1995 total pop for Guadeloupe allocated using 1990 proportions.
