The 2022 Dominican Republic census is the tenth Dominican Republic national census, and was held from the 10 to 23 of November 2022, during the presidency of Luis Abinader.[1] It was originally scheduled to conclude in 23 November, but, it was extended to the end of month due to work delays.[2] The population of the Dominican Republic was counted as 10,760,025 – an increase of 1,314,747 (13.9%) over the 2010 census.

First results from the 2022 census were released to the public on 10 August 2023, from the Oficina Nacional de Estadística website.[3]

Preparation

As required by law, the Dominican Republic census has been conducted every 10 years since 1920.[4] The 2010 Dominican Republic census was the previous census completed.[5]

Census sections

The census was divided into six sections.[6][7]

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[8] This is the first Dominican census to have an ethno-racial question since the 1960 Dominican Republic Census, and on section 6 people are able to choose between "black", "white", "indio", "mulato", "mestizo", "Asian", and "other".[9][10]

Results

Director 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.
— Miosotis Rivas Peña, Director of Oficina Nacional de Estadística.[11]
