“The City of Buenos Aires is where the country has the highest percentage of women, as well as Mendoza capital, Vicente López (province of Buenos Aires) and San Juan capital,” Lavagna remarked.
The provinces with the most inhabitants are Buenos Aires (17,569,053), Córdoba (3,978,984), Santa Fe (3,556,522) and Mendoza (2,014,533), and those with the fewest are Tierra del Fuego, Antártida and Islas del South Atlantic (190,641), Santa Cruz (333,473), La Pampa (366,022) and La Rioja (384,607).
Regarding the total number of homes, there are 17,805,711 throughout the country, of which 17,780,210 are private and 25,501 collective (boarding schools; barracks; homes for the elderly; homes for children and adolescents; homes for religious; tourist hotels, apart hotels, tourist cabins, and prisons).
The population in private homes is 45,767,858 people, in collective homes it reaches 273,883 and in street situations 2,962.
In relation to the population living on the streets, Lavagna explained that “data from people who are in shelters will be incorporated into this figure” because “the Census was carried out on May 16, 2022 (two days before the general Census), a It was a cold day and the largest number of people had moved to shelters, and these people are accounted for in collective housing”.
Regarding the 47,327,407 of this Tuesday “it is not exactly comparable to the information on how the operation came. What was presented here is the effective count of people.”
On that occasion, INDEC had specified that the data “should be interpreted as a trend of the field operation” and recalled that at that time they had been described as “an exit door” and may differ from the final results.
“We found that 2% of the homes that had been digitally censused had some type of error. Some 330,000 homes had an error or had entered many times, and they had not completed the census. We cleaned those homes,” Lavagna said.
Lavagna asserted that “the 11th National Census of Population, Households and Housing that took place between March 16 and May 18, 2022 inaugurated a new stage in the history of census operations in the Argentine Republic“.
And he explained that it is because “it provides updated data on the country’s population, to recognize us after 12 years of the previous one, and because INDEC implemented a set of innovations that allowed it to reach a territorial coverage of 98.6% of the total number of census segments, a figure that results in considering a successful implementation of the census” according to the parameters of the United Nations Statistics Division.
Lavagna explained that “for the first time, the legal census methodology was used, by which people were counted in their place of habitual residence“.
He also clarified that “it raises the bar at the institutional level to take firm and accurate steps aimed at developing a Statistical Population Registry that harmonizes the new census data with information from administrative records.”
