Mongolia Conducts Census Mapping
The results of Mongolia’s 2010 Population and Housing Census are in – at present, there are currently 2, 754, 685 individuals in Mongolia.
Following the recommendation of the United Nations that countries should conduct a census every 10 years, Mongolia was among the 53 countries to do so by conducting its population and housing census using a Geographic Information System (GIS) for the first time based on best practice case studies from other countries.
According to the National Statistics Office (NSO) of Mongolia, the census was conducted using traditional methods such as complete field enumeration and more advanced tools for data capture. GIS was used to come up with detailed census maps and as well as to collect and disseminate census data.
In addition, the NSO also used advanced data processing technologies such as Optical Mark Recognition and Intelligent Character Recognition for the first time.
Based from the Year 2000 population and housing census, the population of Mongolia stood at 2,373, 493. Looking at the result of the 2010 census, where the population of Mongolia is recorded to be at 2, 754, 685, this shows that population has increased in Mongolia by 381,192 people.
The census, conducted between 11th and 17th of November, 2010, was the 10th census in state history and the first one in the 21th century.
