The Premier the Hon. Michael Dunkley, JP, MP, said, “I am pleased to announce a 98% completion rate for the 2016 Census data collection. I am impressed with this completion rate and would like to thank all households, interviewers, businesses and the Department of Statistics staff who made this possible.”
The Department of Statistics now has a variety of activities that must be completed prior to the completion of a preliminary report by the autumn of 2017, including:
- Data Entry and Processing
- Data Verification and Quality Assurance
- Data Tabulations, Evaluation and Data Analysis
Mrs. Melinda Williams, Director of the Department of Statistics said, “The completion of data collection is a key milestone in a population and housing census. However, much work remains in order to produce a quality publication containing preliminary results and my team is committed to achieving this goal."
