LovelyData

Small islands, told with data.

Island economies run on numbers that are scattered, late or hard to compare. We gather them, check them against their sources and turn them into stories anyone can follow. We start with Aruba and are building out across the region.

Stories

Interactive population pyramid of Aruba, 2018 shown

Aruba’s population, year by year

Thirty-five years of CBS population figures by age and sex, on one slider. See which age groups grew and which shrank each year, and follow the same people five years on to see who arrived and who left.

Open the interactive pyramid

In the works: ten years after the Airbnb arrival, where Aruba’s visitors sleep now, and what changed since we first wrote about it in 2016.
