Population censuses have been conducted in Ghana at approximately ten-year intervals since 1891.

Ghana has conducted five population censuses after independence – 2010 was the last.
The last two censuses (2000 & 2010) combined Population and Housing in one operation.
The last census conducted in 2010 recorded a total population of 24.7 million.

The rationale for conducting periodic censuses is to update the sociodemographic and economic data in the country and ascertain the changes that have occurred in the population structure since the last
Census.
