Results
Director said of the preliminary results:
{{blockquote|The Census is a great tool of great use for decision-making, both for the public and private sectors, since it provides information on how much we are, who we are and where we live; basic information for the proper formulation of public policies and decision-making. It is an honour for me, taking into account previous censuses, to be able to deliver these first results in such a short time, which represents an achievement of Dominican society that has understood the importance of a statistical operation like this, being part of the first technological census of the Dominican Republic. We are infinitely grateful for the support provided.|Miosotis Rivas Peña, Director of Oficina Nacional de Estadística.{{cite web|url=http://www.presidencia.gob.do/noticias/one-informa-los-primeros-resultados-preliminares-del-x-censo-nacional-de-poblacion-y|title=ONE informa los primeros resultados preliminares del X Censo Nacional de Población y Vivienda|website=Presidencia de la República Dominicana|date=10 August 2023|accessdate=18 August 2023|language=Spanish}}}}
