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.[2] It was originally scheduled to conclude in 23 November, but, it was extended to the end of month due to work delays.[3] The population of the Dominican Republic was counted as 10,760,028 – 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.[4]

## Preparation

[edit]

As 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

[edit]

The 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

[edit]

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.[12]
