The population and housing census has been conducted every five years in South Korea since 1960. The 2018 version will be the 22th population census and the 14th housing census. Its sample is all Koreans and foreign residents in the territory of the Republic of Korea and their places of residence as of midnight November 1, 2019. From the census in 2015, Statistics Korea will apply register-based census, in which statistics are generated by various administrative data, for complete enumeration, as opposed to the former methodology which was a field survey.
