Census Development

Initially, it was planned to develop the census in several phases: e-Census (virtual) from January 9 to March 8, 2018 and face-to-face visits to homes, which began in April and were due to end on June 30, 2018.[3] However, due to technical difficulties of the census internet platform, the virtual phase extended until April 12th.[4] In total, 5 048 492 people were censored online and the face-to-face home visits began on April 18th.[5]

Subsequently, due to the incidents with the construction of the Ituango Dam that forced the evacuation of several municipalities, the winter emergency, security problems in the Catatumbo and the change of the government authorities, the face-to-face visits to homes extended until September 2018.[6] Some of the preliminary results were released in late August,[7] although the final results were expected to be published in the third week of September.[8] It was finally announced that these would become official on October 30, 2018.[9] the second delivery of preliminary results was made on November 6, 2018.[10] As reported by DANE, the entire process of executing the census has 32 million people and its budget was 310 million pesos.[11]

Prior to this census, the last population census in Colombia was the 2005 Census, which was conducted between May 22, 2005 and May 22, 2006.[12] According to the official projections that had been made from the records of that census, the population of Colombia in 2018 should be about 49 834 240 inhabitants.[13] However, in the preliminary delivery of results, it was noted that these projections were incorrect and that by 2018 the population of Colombia was about 45.5 million people.[14] Finally, the census results were revealed on July 4, 2019 at a press conference, announcing an estimated 48,258,499 people in Colombia.[15]
