History
{{Main|Demographic history of Serbia}}
Censuses in Serbia ordinarily take place every 10 years, organized by the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia. The Principality of Serbia had conducted the first population census in 1834; the subsequent censuses were conducted in 1841, 1843, 1846, 1850, 1854, 1859, 1863 and 1866 and 1874. During the era Kingdom of Serbia, six censuses were conducted in 1884, 1890, 1895, 1900, 1905 and the last one being in 1910. During the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, censuses were conducted in 1921 and 1931; the census in 1941 was never conducted due to the outbreak of World War II. Socialist Yugoslavia conducted censuses in 1948, 1953, 1961, 1971, 1981, and 1991. The two most recent censuses were held in 2011 and 2022.
The years since the first 1834 Census saw frequent border changes of Serbia, first amidst the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary, then the subsequent formation and later disintegration of Yugoslavia and, finally, the partially recognized independence of Kosovo in 2008, which affected territorial scope in which all these censuses have been conducted.

Serbia is largely a homogeneous Eastern Orthodox nation, with Catholic and Muslim minorities, among other smaller confessions.{{Cite web |title=Mother tongue, religion and ethnic affiliation {{!}} Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia |url=https://www.stat.gov.rs/en-us/vesti/20230616-st/ |access-date=2023-06-20 |website=www.stat.gov.rs}}
Orthodox Christians number 5,387,426 or 81.1% of the country's population. The Serbian Orthodox Church is the largest and traditional church of the country, adherents of which are overwhelmingly Serbs. Other Orthodox Christian communities in Serbia include Montenegrins, Macedonians, Romanians and Bulgarians.
There are 257,269 Roman Catholics in Serbia, roughly 3.9% of the population, mostly in Vojvodina (especially its northern part) which is home to minority ethnic groups such as Hungarians, Croats, Bunjevci, Albanians, as well as to some Slovaks and Czechs.{{cite web |title=Становништво, домаћинства и породице – база: Попис у Србији 2011 |url=http://popis2011.stat.rs/?page_id=1221 |access-date=2016-09-29 |publisher=Popis2011.stat.rs |archive-date=3 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303213146/http://popis2011.stat.rs/?page_id=1221 |url-status=dead }} Protestantism accounts for about 1% of the country's population, chiefly among Slovaks in Vojvodina as well as among Reformist Hungarians.
Muslims, with 278,212 or 4.2% of the population, form the second-largest religious group. Islam has a strong historic following in the southern regions of Serbia, primarily in southern Sandžak. Bosniaks are the largest Islamic community in Serbia; estimates are that some third of the country's Roma people are Muslim.
