The document provides a map showing rankings of communities in Trinidad and Tobago based on their basic needs status according to the 2000 Population and Housing Census. The methodology used indicators such as wall type, toilet facilities, light source, possessions, crowding, education level, and employment rates to assign communities a basic needs status ranking from 1 (lowest) to 6 (highest). Trinidad communities are shown to range from rankings of 1 to 6, while Tobago communities range from 1 to 5.
