The Population and Housing Census is a nationally designated statistical survey conducted every five years. It aims to collect basic data on the size and characteristics of the population and housing within the territory of South Korea, which is then used for national policy formulation and evaluation, academic research, and corporate management.

The survey will be based on the status as of 12:00 a.m. on November 1, 2025, and will target a 20% sample of households, including both Korean nationals and foreigners residing within the territory of South Korea. In Uijeongbu City, a total of 39,323 households and 97 social and dormitory facilities have been selected as survey subjects.

The survey consists of 55 items in total, including 42 items such as ▲name ▲occupation ▲type of occupancy ▲length of residence ▲bicycle ownership, and 13 items that are substituted by administrative data.

To enhance survey efficiency and convenience for citizens, non-face-to-face survey methods such as internet, mobile, and telephone will be prioritized starting from October 22. Households selected as samples can participate by using the QR code provided in the survey notification letter, accessing the Population and Housing Census website, or contacting the dedicated call center.

For households that do not respond to the non-face-to-face survey by October 31, surveyors will visit in person and conduct interviews from November 1 to 18.

To ensure smooth survey operations, the city conducted group training sessions from September 29 to October 2 for surveyors responsible for in-person visits, covering ▲understanding of survey guidelines and procedures ▲practical training using tablet PCs ▲response techniques for participants ▲methods for preventing and responding to safety accidents, and other practical skills.

Mayor Kim Donggeun stated, "This year marks the meaningful 100th anniversary of the Population and Housing Census," and added, "I sincerely ask for the active participation of all citizens so that every response can contribute to a better future for South Korea."
