Demographics

Historically, Clonbrook was almost 100% Indo-Guyanese, but today, that has changed due to migration within the country. The village of Clonbrook has a population of about 1,000 and most residents are of Indian Descent (Indo-Guyanese), however in recent years substantial Black migration has occurred. As a result of migration, many new houses have been constructed near the Public Road, also known as the East Coast Highway. Like many other Guyanese villages, Clonbrook is somewhat ethnically segregated: Some sections have a black majority, while others have an Indian majority. This village is well known for having friendly people, and racial disturbances rarely occur but racism does exist to some extent .
