Benque Viejo Municipal Profile
General
Benque Viejo is the western-most municipality in the country, located less than 2 miles from the western
border with Guatemala. It is the smallest of the three municipalities found in the Cayo district.
Population
Between 2000 and 2010, Benque Viejo experienced average annual population growth of nearly 1.3%, well
below the 3% annual urban population growth for the intercensal period. At the 2010 population census
count, the population was estimated to be around 6,100 persons. It is now the second least-populated
municipality in Belize, having been outgrown by both San Pedro Town and Belmopan between 2000 and
2010. The average household size also declined from 4.6 persons per household in 2000 to 4.3 persons per
household in 2010, the largest household size of all the 9 municipalities in both 2000 and 2010.
Demographics
Benque Viejo is predominantly a Mestizo community, with cultural and commercial ties to neighboring
Guatemala. Mestizos are by far the major ethnic group, comprising around 93% of the population in both
2000 and 2010. Spanish is the most spoken language, with nearly 90% of the population speaking Spanish.
However, English is also spoken by nearly 65% of the population, indicating that the majority of the
population is bilingual (Spanish, English).
The male-to-female ratio actually increased from 96 males per 100 females in 2000 to 99 males per 100
females in 2010.
The Age-Dependency ratio declined from 84 dependents per 100 adults in 2000 to 67 dependents per 100
adults in 2010. This is mainly as a result of the higher growth rate among the adult population which
outpaced the growth among the children population 5 to 14 years, while the infant population decreased
between the intercensal period.
Benque Viejo has one of the highest proportion of foreign-born population among the 9 municipalities. The
foreign-born population remained fairly steady at 20% to 21% of the population between 2000 and 2010. The
foreign-born population in Benque Viejo have traditionally been from Guatemala.
Access to Public Utilities (Water, Sanitation, Electricity)
The major source of drinking water for households in Benque Viejo has shifted from piped water in 2000 to
bottled water in 2010. Piped water was the main source of drinking water for over 77% of households in
2000, but declined to nearly 42% of households by 2010. Bottled water has become the main source of
drinking water for over 50% of households in 2010.
Pit latrines and Flush toilet piped to septic tank were the 2 main types of toilet facility equally used by over
49% households in Benque Viejo in 2000. The proportion of households using flush toilets increased to 69%
in 2010, while households using traditional pit latrines have declined to over 30% in 2010. Benque Viejo is
among the six municipalities in the country without an established sewer system for waste water disposal
and treatment.
The vast majority of households in Benque Viejo use electricity as the main power source for lighting. The
proportion of households with electricity has remained steady at around 92% of all households between
2000 and 2010.
Education
Currently there are 3 Primary schools, and 2 High schools in Benque Viejo. The Net Enrolment rate in primary
school increased from 121% in 2004 to 125% in 2010. This increase may be largely due to children from
adjacent rural communities, including children from across the Guatemalan border, attending primary
schools in Benque Viejo. The ratio of boys to girls enrolled in Primary school increased from 101 boys per 100
girls in 2004 to 108 boys to per 100 girls by 2010, indicating that more boys than girls continued to be
enrolled in Primary school.
The Gross Enrolment rate in secondary school increased significantly for males from 62% in 2000 to 94% in
2010, and for females from 53% in 2000 to 96% in 2010. The ratio of boys to girls enrolled in secondary
school decreased from 112 boys per 100 girls in 2000 to 93 boys per 100 girls by 2010, indicating that more
girls than boys are now enrolled in secondary school.
The Literacy rate for male youths (15 to 24 years) increased from 81% in 2000 to 94% in 2010, from 80% in
2000 to 95% in 2010 for female youths, indicating similar levels of literacy by gender.
Technical and Vocational training also experienced some growth as the number of trainees increased by 58%
between 2000 and 2010.
Employment
Due to the sample design of the annual Belize Labour Force survey, no employment data is estimated
separately for Benque Viejo. Employment data is released at the Cayo urban level which includes Belmopan,
San Ignacio-Santa Elena, and Benque Viejo combined.

MOE enrolment data are reported by schools within each municipality, not
by the place of residence of the students. As a result, the urban Net
Enrolment Rates (NER)based on MOE data may overstate the actual NER as
the enrolment reported may include students from rural communities who
are enrolled in urban shools. This may be more acute at the Secondary and
Tertiary levels as the schools at these levels are concentrated in the urban
areas within each district.
Employment includes all persons 14 years or older
who worked for at least 1 hour for pay, profit or
family gain, or who were temporarily absent from
his/her job, during the Census reference week.
Working Age Population includes all persons 14
years or older regardless of their economic
activity status.

Literacy is the ability of a person to read and
write . In absence of a functional literacy test,
literacy is estimated by a proxy measure such as
the number of completed years of formal
schooling. Youth Literacy rate is the propor-tion
of all persons 15 to 24 years who can read and

MDG 7.8
The definition of an improved drinking water source is based on the
classification developed by the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring
Programme for Water and Sanitation. The data indicates a remarkable
decline in the level of this indicator between 2000 and 2010. This is
mainly as a result of the huge increase in bottled water as a main source
of drinking water for most urban households.
