Suwon Conducts 2020 Population and Housing Census Through November 18

[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] Suwon will conduct the '2020 Population and Housing Census' with the Statistics Korea from the 15th of this month through November 18.

The Population and Housing Census is a national statistical survey conducted on a five-year cycle to gather comprehensive information on population, households, and housing, and to provide basic data for establishing major national policies.

The survey targets 83,750 households (20 percent sample) in Suwon that have been pre-selected by Statistics Korea to receive survey notices. The survey covers 55 items across three categories: population, households, and housing. Collected information will not be used for purposes other than statistical compilation.

From the 15th to the 31st of this month, households can participate by accessing the Population and Housing Census website (www.census.go.kr), scanning the QR code on the notice, or calling the call center (080-400-2020). Households that do not participate during this period will be visited by surveyors between November 1 and 18 for the survey.

The city plans to actively recommend non-face-to-face surveys using the internet, smartphones, and phone calls during the visit survey period to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

A city official stated, "We hope you will actively cooperate with the Population and Housing Census," and added, "Given the COVID-19 situation, we hope you will participate in a non-face-to-face method rather than an in-person visit survey."
