   Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani announced on Sunday, the preliminary
   results of the 2024 Census of Population and Housing in Iraq, conducted
   earlier this month. This announcement was made during a joint press
   conference by the Prime Minister and the Minister of Planning, the Head of
   the Commission of Statistics and Geographic Information Systems, and the
   Senior Advisor of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
    
   The Media Office Of The Prime Minister stated in a statement, received by The
   Iraqi News Agency-INA that “The Prime Minister revealed that, based on the
   completion of the census database across all governorates, Iraq’s population
   has reached 45,407,895, including foreigners and refugees”.
   The statement added," The population distribution shows 70.3% residing in
   urban areas and 29.7% in rural areas".
   Al-Sudani highlighted that the results indicate Iraq has entered the stage of
   “demographic dividend,” with the working-age population now constituting 60%
   of the total population.
    
   The statement further stated “Prime Minister Al-Sudani expressed his
   gratitude to the tens of thousands of team members involved in the census, as
   well as the administrative, security, and technical teams that supported the
   effort, alongside ministries and governorates. Their contributions enabled
   the accomplishment of this significant step in planning for sustainable
   development, covering Iraq from north to south and east to west”.
    
   The Prime Minister also thanked citizens for their cooperation, patience with
   the curfews, and for providing accurate information. His appreciation
   extended to the Commission of Statistics and Geographic Information Systems,
   the staff of the Ministry of Planning, the Statistics Authority in the
   Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and the UNFPA. Additionally, he acknowledged the
   significant role of religious leaders and figures who encouraged citizens to
   participate in the census.
    
   The Prime Minister noted that the census had been long overdue, with the last
   comprehensive census conducted in 1987. The 1997 census excluded the
   Kurdistan Region of Iraq. He emphasized that carrying out this census is a
   government commitment included in its program, supported by all national
   political forces, constitutional authorities, and various sectors of the
   population. He reaffirmed the government’s determination to continue driving
   change for the current and future generations toward tangible sustainable
   development.
    
   Below are the key preliminary results announced by His Excellency the Prime
   Minister as the census database was completed for the 2024 Census of
   Population and Housing:
      •     Total population of Iraq: 45,407,895, including foreigners and
   refugees.
      •     Urban population: 70.3%.
      •     Rural population: 29.7%.

      •     Households headed by women: 11.33%.
      •     Households headed by men: 88.67%.
    
   Age group distribution of Iraq’s population:
      •     Population under working age (below 15 years): 36.1%.
      •     Population of working age (15–64 years): 60.2%.
      •     Population above working age (65 years and older): 3.7%.
    
   Iraq has officially entered the demographic dividend phase, with the
   working-age population reaching 60%.
    
   Comparing the 2024 census results with the 2009 enumeration, where Iraq’s
   population was 31.664 million, the annual population growth rate is 2.3%.
    
   According to the 2024 census enumeration results, the number of housing units
   in Iraq is 8,037,221, distributed as follows:
      •     Houses: 92.1%.
      •     Apartments: 6.6%.
      •     Other types of housing: 1.3%.
    
   The Commission of Statistics and Geographic Information Systems at the
   Ministry of Planning will continue collecting detailed data on the
   demographic, social, and health characteristics of the population to finalize
   comprehensive reports.
