The latest census report reveals a significant surge in population, reaching a total of 3,022,401 people, with 1,548,177 females and 1,474,224 males, according to a preliminary report released on Wednesday from the 2023 Population and Housing Census.

The Namibia Statistics Agency, through its Statistician-General, Alex Shimuafeni, unveiled the findings, indicating a remarkable increase of 909,324 individuals from the 2.1 million recorded in 2011.

Shimuafeni emphasized the significance of this growth trajectory, suggesting that if it continues at this pace, Namibia's population could exceed 6 million by the year 2050. Notably, these two regions surpass the size of the least populated region, Omaheke, by four and three times, respectively. Omusati emerges as the third most populous region, with 326,671 inhabitants.
