If you are going to estimate the Sosua population, you would have to include all the barrios. El Batey, Villa Ana Maria, Playa Chiquita, Los Charamicos, La Piedra, El Tablon, Sosua Abajo, Bella Vista, La Maranata, Los Castillos, Puerto Chiquito, La Mulata 1, 2, 3 & 4, Los Ceros, the Camino LLibre area, La Union, to name a few.Anna Coniglio said:I was talking about Sosua with friend and the population of Sosua came up. I have to admit that I do not know. :classic:
I guess that would include Los Charamicos?
That is exactly what cracks me up about Aides Statistics in the DR. They don't even have a clue as to how many people live there let alone if they have aids or not. What a joke.A.J. said:I am not sure there is an accurate way to count everyone - especially considering all the foreigners living there illegally. And then do you only count the snowbirds as a half a person? since they are only there for half the year?

Then there's the gated communities along the highway, such as Escondido bay, Sea Horse Ranch, El Choco, etc.
My Educated guess would be a total population of 20,000 or more.
The Puerto Plata region has about 300,000 people:Rocky said:Puerto Plata may be close to those numbers, but not Sosua.

.00?Mr_DR said:The Sosua population is around 8,000.00 and it does includes Los Charamicos.
Hey they can tell you how many people have aids! Maybe that was what they were checking then and you hadn't caught it yet? LOLRocky said:Cabarete belongs to Sosua, which in turn belongs to POP.
If the total population of the 3 is 300,000, then I'm a monkey's uncle.
POP is a speck next to Santiago which has less than a million.
BTW: I was around when they did that supposed census in '93. What a farce.
They forced us to close our businesses and stay home for 3 days and nobody even came around to count.
Where did you come up with that figure?Mr_DR said:The Sosua population is around 8,000.00 and it does includes Los Charamicos.

Good way to start out with your first post.tomster said:
I am not sure how anyone can make an "educated guess" on this subject..especially when La Union is fully a ten minute drive from the town of Susua. And how could Puerto Chiquito possibly be part of Sosua?
