The Statistics and Census Service (DSEC) announced the launch of the Population Statistics Database, which aims to provide data users with easy and efficient access to population statistics of Macao.

The Database covers four areas of statistics, namely total population, local population, households and housing. It supports sorting and filtering of data which enable users to search for population data by different demographic or housing characteristics, such as gender, age group, nationality, education attainment, parish and statistical district. Users can also create and download customised statistical tables and charts.

The Population Statistics Database website (https://www.dsec.gov.mo/CensosWebDB/), in traditional and simplified Chinese, Portuguese and English, is now available to the public. Currently, the Database contains statistics from the 2016 Population By-Census, and population data from the previous reference periods would be gradually added to the Database.

In addition, the Database provides a “Comments or Suggestions” section where users are welcome to give their feedback that can help further improve the content and functions of the Database. For any enquiries, please contact the Documentation and Information Centre of DSEC by telephone at 8399 5311.
