First results from the 2022 census were released to the public on 10 August 2023, from the Oficina Nacional de Estadística website.[4]
Preparation
editAs required by law, the Dominican Republic census has been conducted every 10 years since 1920.[5] The 2010 Dominican Republic census was the previous census completed.[6]
Census sections
editThe census was divided into six sections.[7][8]
- Section I
- Geographic location
- Section II
- Household characteristics
- Section III
- Household identification
- Section IV
- Household characteristics
- Section V
- List of people who make up the household
- Section VI
- Characteristics of people in the household[9] This is the first Dominican census to have an ethno-racial question since the 1960 census, and on section six people are able to choose from "black", "white", "indio", "mulato", "mestizo", "Asian", and "other".[10][11]
Results
editDirector said of the preliminary results:
The Census is a great tool of great use for decision-making, both for the public and private sectors, since it provides information on how much we are, who we are and where we live; basic information for the proper formulation of public policies and decision-making. It is an honour for me, taking into account previous censuses, to be able to deliver these first results in such a short time, which represents an achievement of Dominican society that has understood the importance of a statistical operation like this, being part of the first technological census of the Dominican Republic. We are infinitely grateful for the support provided.
