The population of 4,459 people as of 2012 and primarily Indo-Guyanese. Crabwood Creek is predominantly agricultural, producing large-scale rice, cane, cash-crop and provisions. It is located approximately two miles from the larger town of Corriverton, home to the Guyana Sugar Corporation's Skeldon Estate which provided jobs to a majority of the surrounding communities before its closure. With assistance from the World Bank, Skeldon Estate was upgraded with a co-generation plant, meant to provide stable electricity to the residents of the surrounding communities, including Crabwood Creek. However, the operation has inefficiencies due to poor design.
