The 2023 Census of Pakistan was the detailed enumeration of the Pakistani population and the seventh national census in the country.[1][2][3] It was conducted by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics.[4] It was also the first ever digital census to be held in Pakistan, including the first in South Asian history.[5]
The census was initially held from 1 March 2023 to 1 April 2023. However, enumeration was later extended several times until 30 May 2023, because of incomplete enumeration in large cities such as Karachi, Lahore, and Faisalabad, where people are more mobile and therefore harder to count, and in remote and rural Balochistan. The extension was also used by PBS officials and census takers for quality reviews, to check if all households and people were properly counted in each area.[6][7][8] The 2023 census recorded a total population throughout the country of 241,492,917 (excluding Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir).[9][10]
