PREFACE

The Bermuda Digest of Statistics was first produced in 1973. The publication provides an annual summary of various
socioeconomic statistics designed for convenient reference. The tables are grouped by theme to form a total of 10
sections. Unless otherwise stated, the statistics are for Bermuda.
Tables have been modified in this edition to enhance the variety of data provided. Some tables from the previous edition
have been removed because the data is no longer collected or is now in a different format. Also, in an effort to
streamline processes and avoid duplication of data across Government, some tables that were previously available in the
Bermuda Digest of Statistics have been removed. We encourage readers to contact directly the respective Government
Department or organization to obtain this data. In some cases, the data is available and accessible from the stakeholders
website.
As was the case with the 2013 Digest of Statistics, this edition contains analyses and graphs in each section. The aim is to
supplement each section of tables by providing background information on the topic and identifying significant trends in
the data that go beyond what is shown solely by the tables. The graphs serve as a quick way to determine key trends in a
visually appealing way.
The name of the department or organization whose reports or published statements were used is noted under each
table. The assistance provided by these departments or organizations is acknowledged gratefully.
The figures in the Digest are mainly annual totals and totals for calendar months. Wherever possible, and space
permitting, series have been provided for the period 2003 to 2013. Figures for earlier years may be found in previous
editions of the Digest.

Vital Statistics: An Overview


A vital statistics system can be defined as including the legal registration, collection, compilation,
analysis, presentation and distribution of statistics pertaining to vital events, which for these
purposes include live births, deaths, marriages and divorces.1
Vital Statistics: Summary of Past Two Years
Figure 1 shows the number of births, deaths, marriages and divorces for 2012 and 2013. The
number of births remained constant for these years at a record low of 648. However, the
amount of births decreased by 22% over the past decade. The number of deaths rose by 12%
between 2012 and 2013, with female deaths increasing by 24%. In contrast, the amount of
marriages performed in Bermuda decreased by 22% over the past year to 471, recording the
lowest number since 1977 when there were 460 marriages. Between 2012 and 2013, the
amount of divorces granted increased by 14%.
Sex Ratio at Birth Shifting
The sex ratio at birth is typically about 105 males per 100 females worldwide.2 However, in the
past four years, there have been more females born than males in Bermuda (Table 1.6). The
result was a sex ratio at birth of 95 males per 100 females for this period. This is an unusual
trend given that historically (from 1940 to 2013), 68% of the time there have been more males
than females born. According to the U.S.A. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
factors that may lower a population's sex ratio include: increased age of the father, lower
maternal weight, stress and environmental toxins (e.g. cigarette smoking).3 The factors that may
have contributed to this recent local trend could be determined through further study.
Seniors Represent Three of Every Four Deaths
In 2013, almost a third of deaths were to persons 85 years or older, the joint highest
proportion of the period. The majority (75%) of deaths occurred at age 65 years and over. In
comparison, only 16% of the population was expected to be 65 years and older in 2013. This
highlights that the risk of dying is much higher for seniors than the rest of the population. As
the population continues to age, it is projected that the share of the population 65 years and
older will increase to 20% in 2020. As a result, it is likely that the proportion of deaths that are
seniors will rise over time (Figure 2 and Table 1.15).
Number of Marriages Nearly Halves in Past Decade
The number of marriages from 2003 to 2013 has decreased by 46%, from 861 to 471 (Figure 3
and Table 1.6). A possible reason for the exceptionally low number of marriages in 2013 may
be superstition; there may be a preference to avoid being married in a year ending in 13. This
may be determined by whether the number of marriages rebounds in 2014. Other factors
which may explain the significant drop in marriages since 2003 include: couples delaying
marriage until their education is complete/ careers are built, affordability or couples preferring
cohabitation.

In 2013, one-third of divorcees had marriage durations of 5-9 years (Figure 4 and Table 1.13).
Marriage durations of less than 5 years and 10-14 years were the next most common, each
representing 22% of the total. As 78% of marriages that ended in divorce lasted under 15 years,
this is evidence that the shorter a couple are married the more likely the marriage will end in
divorce.

Bermudas Strides to Improve Public Education


Since the review of Bermudas public schools in 2007 1, Bermudas public school system has
identified seven strategic priorities to be implemented between 2010 and 2015 to improve the
quality of public education and achieve strategic student outcomes. 2 In order to position
students to compete academically both locally and globally, the Department of Education
adopted the Cambridge International Examinations Curriculum in 2010.2
School Enrolment at Record Low
Total school enrolment in Bermuda stood at 9,831 students in 2013 (Table 2.1), the lowest
since data was captured in the first edition of the Digest of Statistics released in 1973. A long
trend of declining birth rates, a recent increase in emigration and a shift towards pre-tertiary
students studying overseas are all potential contributory factors that has led to this record
low.3 As students enroled at tutorial sites (e.g. home schools) and General Education Diploma
(GED) programmes are excluded from the enrolment tables, it is possible that an increase in
enrolment in alternative learning programmes could also be a factor for declining enrolment.
Proportion Enroled in Private Schools Increases
For students enroled below the tertiary level, 64% attended Government schools in 2003
compared to 62% in 2013, indicating a 2 percentage point increase in the proportion of private
school enrolment over the period (Figure 1). Proportional increases in private school
enrolment occurred at each of the primary, middle and secondary school levels.
Enrolment within public schools declined by 1,069 students (17%) between 2003 and 2013
(Table 2.1). Private school enrolment also declined (338 students or 9%) but not by the same
extent. In comparison to the eleven-year average, Government school enrolment in 2013 was
lower by 431 students and private school enrolment was lower by 251 students.
Primary, Middle and Secondary School Enrolment on the Decline
The decrease in primary school enrolment from 2003 to 2013 was 716 students (15%), as
shown by Figure 2. Government primary school enrolment represented 71% (509 students) of
this overall decline. The fall in Government primary school enrolment over the period
outpaced the decline in private primary school enrolment by 4 percentage points, at 16% and
12%, respectively.
Middle school enrolment declined by 365 students (16%) over the eleven-year period (Figure
3). Government middle school enrolment contributed towards 77% (281 students) of this
overall decline. The drop in Government middle school enrolment over the period exceeded
the decline in private middle school enrolment by 11 percentage points, at 20% and 9%,
respectively.
Secondary school enrolment declined by 292 students (12%) between 2003 and 2013 (Figure
4). Government secondary school enrolment represented 84% (245 students) of this overall
decline. The reduction in public secondary school enrolment over the period surpassed the
decline in private secondary school enrolment by 11 percentage points, at 16% and 5%,
respectively.

Free tuition was implemented, for Bermudian students, by the Bermuda Government in September 2008.

In September 2011, the free tuition scheme was revoked and replaced with a 50% tuition discount.

The total includes 17 female students in the nursing programme.

Sexually Transmitted Infections Down Since 2006


As reported by the World Health Organization, worldwide more than 1 million people
acquire a sexually transmitted infection (STI) every day. 1 The total number of sexually
transmitted infections (STIs) reported in Bermuda in 2013 declined by 180 persons (29%) since
2006 (Figure 1). When analyzing the total number of cases by age group, persons between the
ages of 20 to 29 years old comprised 53% of the total in 2006 in comparison to 39% in 2013, a
decline of 14 percentage points. This was offset by an increase of 14 percentage points during
the same period for persons aged 30 years and older with an STI (Table 3.2).
Proportion of Herpes Infections Quadruples
Worldwide, approximately 500 million people contract chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis or
trichomoniasis annually.1 Figure 2 displays a comparison between the proportions of each
sexually transmitted infection contracted in 2006 and 2013 for the island. The only categories
that had an increase in their proportions over the period were herpes and syphilis, which
increased by twelve percentage points and one percentage point, respectively. Nearly seven out
of ten persons infected with herpes in 2013 were female. In contrast, more than seven out of
every ten persons infected with syphilis in 2013 were male (Table 3.2).
Chlamydia Remains the Most Reported Sexually Transmitted Infection in 2013
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chlamydia is the most
commonly reported STD in the United States.2 In Bermuda, chlamydia has been the leading
reported sexually transmitted infection since 2006. However, the proportion of total STI cases
that were chlamydia has declined by 10 percentage points over the 8-year period, from 82% in
2006 to 72% in 2013. The year 2013 had the lowest number of reported cases (322) with the
second lowest number (380) reported in 2012. As with herpes, women were
disproportionately impacted as seven out of ten of those infected by chlamydia in 2013 were
female (Table 3.2).
Number of Immunizations Fluctuates
Table 3.3 shows that the number of immunizations for travel purposes fluctuated significantly
year-to-year for many diseases such as hepatitis A, meningococcal meningitis, polio, etc.
Instances of unusually high numbers of immunizations for diseases could be attributable to
group travel. Conversely, occurrences of comparatively low numbers of immunizations may be
partially due to a shortage of certain vaccines, as was the case with polio, meningitis and
diphtheria vaccinations for children in 2013.3
Immunizations for Hepatitis A on the Decline
There have been more travel-related immunizations for hepatitis A in each of the past ten years
than for any other disease (Table 3.3). Hepatitis A immunizations for travel purposes have
declined by 36% between 2010 and 2013, from a peak of 1,342 in 2010 to 863 in 2013. The
lowest number of hepatitis A vaccines recorded was 760 in 2004 (Figure 3).

Decline in Jobs for the Fifth Consecutive Year


The Employment Survey has recorded a steady decline in the job market since 2008. The
number of occupied jobs fell by 5,936 (15%) from 40,213 in 2008 to 34,277 in 2013 (Figure 1).
This is the lowest number of filled jobs since 1995. The decline in the past year amounted to
1,116 jobs (3%).
More Plant and Machine Operators and Assemblers are Seniors
In 2012, one-fifth of all occupations held were that of Service Workers, Shop and Market Sales
Workers1, followed by Professionals2 at 19%. This fact held true in 2013. The highest
proportion of Service Workers, Shop and Market Sales Workers (12%) were between the ages
of 50 to 54 whereas 16% of Professionals fell into the 30 to 34 age bracket in 2013. Plant and
Machine Operators and Assemblers3 were the only occupational group which had seniors as
the leading age group, representing 16% of the total. Of the seniors in this occupational
category, more than half (58%) were motor-car drivers which includes taxis and chauffeurdriven cars. The implication of this is that a significant proportion of job holders in this
occupational group are of retirement age and will need to be replaced in the near future (Table
4.1).
Leading Economic Activity: Wholesale/Retail Trade and Restaurants/Hotels
As was the case in 2012, the leading divisions for economic activity were Wholesale/Retail
Trade and Restaurants/Hotels (24%); Public Administration, Education, Health and Social Work
(23%) and Financing, Insurance, Real Estate and Business Services (19%). These three divisions
accounted for nearly two-thirds of all economic activity in Bermuda in 2013 (Table 4.2).
Fewest Number of Private Sector Work Permits Issued Since Turn of the Century
Between 2002 and 2007, there was a steady rise in the number of work permits issued for
private sector employees (Figure 2). In 2008, after the onset of the economic recession, there
was a shift in this trend and total work permits declined until 2010 and rebounded the following
year. This fluctuating trend was influenced primarily by the issuance of 3 month work permits
and 2 to 5 year work permits. Between 2012 and 2013, the total number of work permits
issued have dropped by 2,799 (20%) to 11,330, the lowest number since 2000. Three month
work permits accounted for 43% of the total for 2013 (Table 4.4).

Includes occupations whose main tasks consist of providing services related to travel, housekeeping, catering,
personal care, protection of individuals and property, and to maintaining law and order, or selling in shops or at
markets.
2
Includes occupations whose main tasks consist of increasing the existing stock of knowledge, applying scientific
and artistic concepts and theories to the solution of problems, and teaching about the foregoing in a systematic
manner.
3
Includes occupations whose main tasks consist of operating and monitoring mining, processing and production
machinery and equipment, as well as driving vehicles and driving and operating mobile plant, or assembling
products from component parts.

How Price Changes are Monitored


The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures and monitors changes in the average price of
consumer goods and services purchased by householders. Prices affect our daily living, from
purchasing groceries to paying bills. The current index is based on a basket of goods and
services derived from the results of the 2004 Household Expenditure Survey (HES). The basket
is due to be updated in 2015 as a result of the 2013 HES findings. Goods and services are
priced on a monthly basis.
The categories included in the Selected Average Retail Prices shown in Table 5.2 are:
Grain and Grain Products
Meat, Poultry and Fish
Dairy Products and Substitutes
Fats and Cooking Oils
Fruits and Vegetables
Beverages
Miscellaneous
Household and Personal
Liquor and Tobacco
Fuel and Power
Transportation
Recreation and Entertainment
Historical Price Changes: 2004-2013
Generally, prices of goods and services rise over longer periods of time, a trend known as
inflation. However, there were a few exceptions between 2004 and 2013, namely the prices of
imported codfish, which decreased by 3.4%, and postal rates, cash bus fares and cash ferry fares,
which remained constant (Table 5.2).
Figure 1 shows the six items that more than doubled in cost between 2004 and 2013. Of these
six items, the greatest percentage increase was for cheese (+145.1%), followed by toilet paper
(+134.5%).
Recent Price Changes: 2012-2013
Of the 69 items shown in Table 5.2, fifty-one items increased in price between 2012 and 2013.
The prices of the five items with the largest percentage increases in the past year are shown in
Figure 2. The items with the largest percentage increases were the price of apples (+15.7%)
followed closely by lettuce (+14.0%).
The prices of the leading five items with the largest percentage decreases are displayed in
Figure 3. By far, the largest percentage decrease was for powdered household cleanser (11.5%), with butter a distant second (-5.0%).

Governments Deficit Gap Widens


For the eleventh consecutive year, Bermuda Governments revenue has fallen short of its
expenditure (Figure 1). The last time revenue exceeded expenditure was in the 2002/03 fiscal
year. In the 2013/14 fiscal year, expenditure was 38% (or $332 million) higher than revenue, the
largest deficit of the eleven-year period. The primary component of total revenue during the
past fiscal year was payroll tax at 37% whilst wages and salaries were the single largest item of
expenditure, comprising 35% of the total (Table 6.1).
Bermuda Monetary Authoritys Balance Increases Over Decade
From 2004 to 2013, total assets, liabilities, capital and reserves increased by 45%, balancing at
$190.7 million. In 2013, securities contributed the most to total assets at 55% of the total. On
the liabilities, capital and reserves section of the balance sheet, notes and coins in circulation
comprised the majority of the total at 76% (Table 6.2).
Corporation of Hamiltons Expenditure Exceeds Revenue for 6th Consecutive Year
The Corporation of Hamiltons revenue exceeded expenditure from 2003 to 2007 but fell
short of expenditures between 2008 and 2013 (Figure 2). Over the eleven-year period, revenue
increased by 17% and expenditure by 66%. In 2013, expenditure was 16% higher than revenue,
resulting in a deficit of $3.4 million. One of the factors contributing to the shortfall of revenue
in 2012 was the cessation of collecting wharfage fees, which remained in effect in 2013. The
most significant contributor to total revenue in 2013 was taxes at 40%. Staff costs were the
largest item of expenditure, comprising 32% of the total (Table 6.3).
Corporation of St. Georges Revenue and Expenditure Increases in 2013
Figure 3 shows a trend of decreasing revenue and expenditure since 2005 for the Corporation
of St. George. Revenue declined by 35% and expenditure by 24% over the nine-year period.
However, expenditure increased by $136,000 from 2012 to 2013, the first increase since 2006.
Revenue also increased between 2012 and 2013 by a total of $168,000. The net result was a
reduction in the deficit over the past year by 15% to $180,000 (Table 6.4).
The Corporation of St. George was no longer able to collect wharfage in 2012 due to the
introduction of the Municipalities Reform Bill 2010. As a result, the Bermuda Government
increased significantly the grants provided to the Corporation in 2012 in an attempt to lessen
this impact. Government transfers (grants) increased further in 2013 to $1.6 million, an
increase of 23% over the previous year. A heavy reliance on Government transfers as a revenue
source is evidenced by the fact that 86% of the Corporation of St. Georges total revenues
were from Government transfers in 2013 (Table 6.4).
For the years 2005 to 2007, significant capital outlays were made relating to damage sustained
from Hurricane Fabian. These capital outlays stopped in 2008 and contributed to a reduction in
total expenditure up to 2012. Staff and office expenses were the largest expense items in 2013
at 70% of total expenditure (Table 6.4).

External Trade
2013 Quick Facts
Total Imports: $1.00 billion
Primary Imports: Food, Beverages &
Tobacco (20%)
Total Exports: $21.71 million

Value of Imports Continues to Rebound


Few goods are manufactured on the island therefore Bermuda relies heavily on imported
products. Figure 1 shows that the value of imports exceeded $1 billion in 2013 for the first time
since 2009. Between 2012 and 2013, the value of imports increased by 14%.
Leading Commodity Group Imported is Food, Beverages & Tobacco
Food, Beverages & Tobacco held the highest share of the total value of imports in 2013 at 20%,
followed by Finished Equipment (e.g. furniture, books, toys, etc.) at 17% and Fuel at 16% (Figure
2 and Table 7.1). This is the first time since 1982 that Fuel has been one of the leading three
commodity groups imported.
Most Imports from the United States
The United States is the main source of Bermudas imports. In 2013, the United States
contributed 68% of the total imported products followed by Canada (12%) and the United
Kingdom (3%) (Figure 3). As the United States share decreased from 80% of total imports in
2003 to 68% in 2013, the Caribbean and Canada gained in their share from 4% in 2003 to 7%
and 12% in 2013, respectively.
Exports Continue Upwards Trend
Exports consist of goods that are manufactured in Bermuda and goods that have been imported
and then re-exported. In 2013, the value of Bermudas exports stood at $21.71 million, slightly
above the 2006 to 2013 average of $21.26 million (Table 7.3). According to data derived from
H.M. Customs Bermuda, the value of Bermudas exports increased by 28% from 2012 to 2013.
The leading three categories exported in 2013 were:
1. musical instruments;
2. electrical machinery equipment and parts; and
3. aircraft, spacecraft and parts.

Decline in Registered Road Vehicles Continues


The Transport Control Department (TCD) is responsible for the administration and operation
of all motor vehicles in Bermuda. One of their main functions is to register and license vehicles.
The 46,947 registered road vehicles in 2013 were the lowest number recorded since 2004. The
total number of registered vehicles has fallen by 3,924 (8%) from 2009 to 2013 (Figure 1 and
Table 8.1). The largest contributors to this overall decline were decreases in the number of
auxiliary cycles and private cars by 1,732 and 1,062, respectively. However, private cars
remained the leading category in the number of registered road vehicles in 2013 at 46% of the
total, followed by motor cycles & scooters at 32%.
Auxiliary cycles have continued to decline each of the past five years partly due to closures of
livery (rental) cycle businesses as a result of declining tourism arrivals. In particular, the number
of tourists dropped significantly in the last year, especially for cruise passenger arrivals (see
Visitor Arrivals Table 9.1). Coupled with declining tourism figures, Bermudas job market has
contracted due to the economic downturn (see Table 4.1). Bermudians and non-Bermudians
have been affected by unemployment and some have left the island to seek opportunities
elsewhere which reduced the need for registered road vehicles. Alternatively, some residents
are unable to afford to license their vehicles due to job losses.
Year-to-Year Decline in Accidents Since 2010
The number of reported road traffic accidents has declined each year for the past four years,
amounting to a total decline of 435 (20%) for this period (Figure 2 and Table 8.3). In 2013,
reported accidents involving private cars, trucks, pedestrians and livery and auxiliary cycles
were the lowest during the 11-year period. Of all registered road vehicles that were involved in
accidents in 2013, 48% were private cars, 36% were livery, auxiliary or motorcycles, 10% were
trucks and 4% were taxis. However, of the total registered vehicles in 2013, 46% were private
cars, 41% were livery, auxiliary or motorcycles, 8% were trucks and 1% were taxis. This
indicates that private cars, trucks and taxis were disproportionately more likely to be involved
in accidents based on their share of registered vehicles. On the other hand, livery, auxiliary and
motorcycles were disproportionally less likely to be involved in accidents. The reasons for this
could be a topic for further study.
Inattention and inexperience have been the leading causes of road traffic accidents since 2003,
representing 40% and 15% of all causes, respectively (Table 8.4). In absolute terms, in 2013
there were record lows in these two categories for the period.
The total number of road casualties has declined from 1,251 in 2003 to 957 in 2013, a 24%
decrease (Table 8.5). This is significant from a health-care perspective as this could have
resulted in a drop in associated total medical costs in real terms. The number of road fatalities
has flat-lined over the past three years at nine deaths per year. The highest number of fatalities
during the period was 17 in 2008 and the lowest was 7 in 2004.

Bermudas Paths to International Travel


Bermudas only airport was first built between 1941 and 1943 and is known today as the L.F.
Wade International Airport. Regular flights currently operate to 14 destinations in Europe,
Canada and the U.S.A.1 There were 12,664 flights in 2013, a drop from the 12,827 flights in
2012 (Table 8.8).
There are three cruise ship ports in Bermuda: Dockyard (Heritage Wharf and Kings Wharf),
Hamilton (#5/6 Passenger Terminal) and St. Georges (Pennos Wharf). There were 125 cruise
ship visits in 2013 compared to 157 in 2012.2 3
Cruise Arrivals Surpass Air Arrivals Since 2006
Total visitor arrivals fluctuated over the period 2003-2013 (Figure 1). However, there was an
increase in total visitor arrivals over the period of 19%. The 576,373 total visitors in 2013 was
slightly higher than the eleven-year average of 572,287, although total arrivals have declined
each of the past two years.
The number of cruise ship visitors surpassed air visitors from 2006 onwards. Cruise ship
arrivals in 2013 were 8% higher than the eleven-year average whereas air arrivals in 2013 were
8% lower than the eleven-year average.
Most Visitors from the United States
In 2013, eighty-two percent of all visitors to Bermuda were from the U.S.A. (Figure 2). This
share comprised 72% of air arrivals compared to 88% for cruise arrivals. These high
proportions may largely be attributed to the U.S.A.s close proximity to Bermuda, as
conveniently many cruises and flights arrive from this country. The leading regions for air
visitors from the U.S.A. were the Mid-Atlantic (55%), North-East (17%) and South-East (15%)
(Table 9.2).
Residents of Canada were the second largest contributor to total visitors, representing 8% of
visitor arrivals. Unlike American visitors, Canadian visitors were more likely to arrive by air
than cruise ship. Nearly two-thirds (65%) of Canadian air visitors were from Ontario (Table
9.2).
July Most Popular Month for Visitors
Figure 3 shows that the peak month for visitor arrivals in 2013 was July (17%) and the fewest
visitors arrived in January (1%). The number of visitors increased each month until July, at which
point arrivals declined each month for the remainder of the year, although October broke this
trend. Furthermore, April, September and October represented months of transition from the
off-season (November-March) to the peak season (May-August). Although the peak season is
one-third of a year, it represented 62% of 2013s total visitor arrivals.

Leading Contributor to Value of Domestic Agricultural Output: Vegetables


Although approximately 80% of Bermudas food requirements are met through importation,
domestic agriculture still plays a role in the sustenance of residents.1 In 2013, domestic
agricultural output of vegetables, fruit, honey and sales from the Government Marketing Centre
was valued at $4.9 million, comparable to the average of $4.8 million between 2003 and 2013.
The 38% increase in value of these selected domestic agricultural outputs in the past year is
attributable to the increase in the value of vegetables produced (Table 10.1).
Vegetables have been the largest single contributor to the value of domestic agricultural output
throughout the period 2003 to 2013. In 2013, vegetables comprised 89% of the value of the
selected domestic agricultural output. Figure 1 shows that the value of domestic vegetables has
fluctuated significantly over the period. They have rebounded from a low in 2012 of $3.1 million
to $4.4 million in 2013, an increase of 44%.
Landlines on a Steady Decline
The number of Bermuda Telephone Company telephone subscribers has been on the decline
each year for the past eleven years (Figure 2). The decline in telephone subscribers between
2003/04 and 2013/14 was 34% for both residential and commercial subscribers. A likely reason
for this decline could be a shift towards using cellular devices to replace traditional landlines.
Applications for Planning Permission: Lowest in Decades
Applications for planning permission are required for all types of development, including new
buildings, additions, alterations, demolitions, etc.2 The number of applications for planning
permission has fluctuated over the past eleven years, although the general trend has been a
decline (Figure 3). Over the period, the number of applications has nearly halved, from 1,701
applications in 2003 to 884 applications in 2013 (Table 10.8). The 2012 and 2013 number of
planning applications were the lowest since 1966, possibly a result of Bermudas continuing
recession.
