Ukrainian Census (2001)

The first Ukrainian census was carried out by State Statistics Committee of Ukraine on 5 December 2001, twelve years after the last Soviet Union census in 1989 and was so far the only census held in independent Ukraine.[1][2]

The total population recorded was 48,457,100 persons, of which the urban population was 32,574,500 (67.2%), rural: 15,882,600 (32.8%), male: 22,441,400 (46.3%), female: 26,015,700 (53.7%). The total permanent population recorded was 48,241,000 persons.

Settlements

There were 454 cities nine of them with population over 500,000. The census recorded over 130 nationalities.

Future censuses

The next Ukrainian census was planned to be held in 2020.[1] But in April 2020 Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers Oleh Nemchinov confirmed that in 2020 there will not be a census in Ukraine and probably also not in 2021 because the census was considered "an expensive pleasure."[2] Nemchinov stated in December 2020 that the next Ukrainian census was planned for 2023.[3]
