Colombia's population is less than they thought. Only 41.2 million

DANE, which is the government's statictical department just released the census figures and it says 41.2 million. Less than most people thought. 3.3 million Colombians live outside of Colombia. 78% live in the big cities here.

Very interesting article. You can read it online for free from El Pais

On the bright side, unless they downward adjust the economic stats, every resident now has a higher per-capita share of GDP. Instant wealth! ;-)

Instant wealth Oh, I can almost read the headlines now: "Per capita GDP increase under Uribe's administration", "'Under my government, poverty was reduced' says President Uribe"

To create Heaven and Earth, a supernatural God is unnecessary. You just need a good statistician.
