Geographic Division of Jamaica for Census Purposes
Jamaica was divided into 5,776 geographic units called enumeration districts (EDs) for
the purpose of data collection during the 2011 Population and Housing Census. Each
ED is an independent unit which shares common boundaries with contiguous EDs. The
number of dwellings/households contained in the ED (estimated before the census)
was the primary determination of the size of an ED. This was approximately 150
dwellings/households in urban areas and 100 in rural areas. Each ED was designed to
be of a size that would ensure an equitable work load for each census taker, and
because dwellings are more widely spaced in rural areas than in urban areas, rural EDs
usually contained fewer dwellings/households than their urban counterpart. When
grouped together, enumeration districts reconstitute larger divisions; special area,
constituency and the parish.
