ANNEXED NOTE

1. Technical Notes and Definitions

GLMM’s retabulation and reformatting of census data in thousands in dashboard figure: “Non-Saudi population by nationality and gender”

https://portal.saudicensus.sa/portal/public/1/18/41?type=DASHBOARD

Source of data: Saudi census 2022
Date of reference: 10 May 2022
Population of reference: Families and individual citizens and residents within the Kingdom, regardless of the status of their identification documents.
Visitors for Hajj, Umrah and tourism are excluded from the census.
Methodology:

The first phase of the 2020 census began on 3 February 2020 (enumeration of buildings and households). Census 2022 used geospatial data, including satellite images, electricity consumption and mobile phone data, to improve the accuracy and geographic coverage of address canvassing.
The 2022 census used a combined methodology – administrative records, fieldwork and digital self-enumeration.
Household data were collected from e-portals of self-enumeration (on residents’ mobile devices, laptops or personal computers, or self-enumeration stations/kiosks, located in shopping centers).
The digital self-enumeration process was complemented by face-to-face interviews, using digital tablets.
Census 2022 used a de jure approach: enumerating people according to their usual place of residence.
Administrative data from multiple sources was used to cross-validate collected census data.
Census 2022 was designed as a launchpad for several new secure statistical data registers for population, housing, and businesses.
