ANNEXED NOTE

 

1. Technical Notes and Definitions:

 

Source: Saudi census 2022

Date of reference: 10 May 2022

Population of reference: Households 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 second stage (“actual enumeration”) was due to start on the original reference date (17 March 2020) but was suspended by the outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis. The enumeration stage was conducted in October 2021.

The 2022 census data collection used a combined/ hybrid methodology, based on 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 centres). 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 used as a launchpad for several new secure statistical data registers for population, housing, and businesses.
