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 .
Education
Clonbrook has two schools, a kindergarten and a primary school (junior high) but there is a secondary school (high school) in the neighboring village of Ann's Grove. However, during the 1960s and 1970s many residents did not take their education seriously, resulting in a literacy rate of only 84%, below the national average of 98%. (Source: Random Survey of 100 random people conducted in 2005).
