Yeah! I hear you. Most of the coolies joined their families in North America. Those who did not have relatives here ran away from starvation under the PNC. I need to remind you...Corentyne/Berbice have blacks in Whim, Rosehall, #51 village and other places along the roadside living in cardboard boxes. 

The Corentyne is the most Indian part of Guyana so any change in population largely reflects what that Indian population is doing.

In 1980 152k people lived in region 6, dropping to 142k by 1991.  It was a scant 109k by 2012.  MORE people fled under the PPP.  BTW New Amsterdam's population remained flat.
