2026 Census Count Starts
Today, Sunday, the field enumeration process for the 2026 Population and Housing Census in Jordan began, and it will continue until the end of October. The operation involves about 12,000 researchers distributed across the country's governorates within three regions, utilizing modern techniques such as GPS (Global Positioning System) to reach households and conduct the count. The census includes visits on all days of the week at various times, with a schedule organized based on regional circumstances. Additionally, the Department of Statistics has launched a self-enumeration campaign targeting approximately 170,000 households, sending out electronic links for individuals to fill out the forms online. Households that do not participate or do not receive the link can opt for field enumeration. The census focuses on collecting demographic data and characteristics without inquiring about income or property ownership. It also includes non-Jordanian residents in the country, with a firm assurance that the data are legally protected. The goal is to provide accurate information to improve developmental planning and infrastructure, and citizens are encouraged to cooperate to ensure the results' accuracy.
