Census 2020

The Planning and Statistics Authority (PSA) has the pleasure to present the Detailed Results of the Census of Population, Housing and Establishments (December 2020). We hope that these data will satisfy the needs of ministries, institutions, planners and decision makers as well as researchers and students, for the sake of the comprehensive development plans as an endeavor to accomplish Qatar National Vision 2030.

This census was distinguished by its use of administrative records at the official authorities in the country, in addition to applying modern technologies. Tablets, the Internet and census call center were all used to collect, enter and review the data, which contributed to expediting the announcement of these high-quality results and providing them to users in record time.

The importance of the census stems from the fact that it is the only statistical process that is carried out with a comprehensive inventory, which is an integrated photographic image of society during a specific moment in time. The census data also represents a main base for population, housing and establishments statistics that are of interest to planners, researchers and decision-makers. This 2020 census is the sixth of its kind in a series of population censuses in the State of Qatar, where previous censuses were conducted in the years (1986, 1997, 2004, 2010, 2015 “simplified”). Modern technology has been used to implement this census in all its stages and to issue accurate results in record time.
