Welcome Message

Welcome to the website of the Census and Statistics Department.

With strict adherence to integrity and objectivity, our department is committed to providing high-quality statistical services to facilitate informed research, discussion, planning and decision making in the Government and in the wider community.  We strive to provide relevant, timely and reliable official statistics in accordance with international standards and statistical principles.

We accord high priority to rendering client-oriented professional services to both our data suppliers and data users.  For data suppliers, they are most welcome to respond to our surveys using the Online Questionnaire System.  Our data collection teams also offer proactive assistance.  For data users, we have continuously enhanced the browsing experience of this website.  To this end, customisation function and web Application Programming Interface have been introduced to the web tables.  We have also launched the Interactive Data Dissemination Service to allow data users to build their own statistical tables and charts from the detailed population census/by-census results and trade statistics.  We plan to expand the service to cover other statistics on this website.

This website contains a wealth of statistics covering various social and economic aspects of Hong Kong.  I hope you will find them useful and informative.  We welcome your comments and suggestions on this website and our statistical services.

Commissioner for Census and Statistics
