Census 2015

Data on the population as of 1 January 2015 are at the same time also data for the register-based census which will be used as input data for conducting the register-based census of population, households and housing in accordance with the Medium-Term Programme of Statistical Surveys for 2013−2017. The 2011 census was conducted the same way.

The use of administrative and statistical data sources enables us to derive data, which were traditionally only collected by fieldwork census. At the end of September 2015, we will again publish data on households and families, and in the beginning of 2016, we will publish data on dwelling occupation status. We have been publishing annual data on socioeconomic characteristics of population (educational attainment, activity status) every December since 2011.
