In 2011, Chart 1.10 shows that East Indians and Africans were again the two largest ethnic groups in Trinidad and Tobago. East Indians accounted for 35.4% of the total population while Africans accounted for 34.2%. In the 2000 census, the respective percentages were 40% and 37.5%. The difference between the groups narrowed from 2.5% in 2000 to 1.2% in 2011. The next largest group was described as ‘Mixed’ representing 22.8% of the population and disaggregated into the ‘African/East Indian’ 7.7% and ‘Mixed Other’ 15.1%. This group increased from 20.5% in 2000. All other ethnic groups totalled 1.4% although there was a relatively large ‘not stated’ category consisting of 6.2%. When the ethnic composition was compared across the two islands, a completely different landscape was observed in Tobago as compared to Trinidad (Chart 1.11). Chart 1.12 shows that 85.2 % of the population was African followed by the ‘Mixed’ group comprising 8.5%
