Small-scale Test Survey of 2026 Population Census
The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) will conduct a Small-scale Test Survey from April1 to July31,2025, to test the questionnaire design and operational arrangements of the 2026 Population Census and consult the views of households on the related arrangements.
Hong Kong will conduct population census in 2026. The purpose is to obtain up-to-date benchmark information on the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the population of Hong Kong and on its geographical distribution. Such information is important to the Government for planning and policy formulation, and the private sector and academia for business and research purposes respectively.
A sample of some 9000 quarters located in the Eastern District, Kwun Tong, Sham Shui Po and Tsuen Wan has been selected by the C&SD for the Small-scale Test Survey. Households in the selected quarters will be required to provide information on demographic and socio-economic characteristics. The C&SD will also invite households to provide opinions on the questionnaire design and the census operation.
Households selected for this Survey will receive a notification letter issued by the C&SD. They can follow the information provided in the notification letters to complete the questionnaires through the "Online Questionnaire System", or call the Census Hotline 182026 to conduct telephone interviews. Census officers of this Department will also visit households not yet responded to conduct face-to-face interviews.
The C&SD reminded households that if they have not provided the C&SD with their contact information, the C&SD will not initiate call, send email or SMS to them. Each census officer will wear a vest uniform and carry a Government Identity Card / Enumerator Identity Card and a Certificate of Identity issued by the C&SD for verification. Households can call 182026 to check the identity of census officer.
This Survey is conducted under Part IIIA of the Census and Statistics Ordinance (Chapter316). Information collected regarding individual persons and households will be kept in strict confidence.
For enquiries about the Survey, please call 182026.
