The report highlights significant demographic shifts, specifically a pronounced population aging driven by low fertility rates and increased life expectancy. As the proportion of older adults nearly doubles while the youth segment shrinks, the country experiences a favorable dependency ratio. This structural change allows for greater resource allocation toward dependent groups, illustrating how national statistics can reveal socio-economic opportunities and guide public policy. Housing data indicate that the number of residences has grown faster than the population, reducing the average number of occupants per home. This trend reflects improved living conditions and urban planning, moving away from the overcrowded norms of previous decades. The availability of detailed housing censuses enables researchers and planners to accurately analyze living standards, ensuring that infrastructure development aligns with the actual needs of a changing society. Despite challenges such as pandemic-related restrictions and public distrust, the census process remained valid and internationally recognized. This underscores the critical importance of transparent and accessible data collection methods, even in difficult contexts. For the open data community, this case demonstrates how releasing comprehensive demographic and housing datasets fosters trust and supports evidence-based decision-making, proving that robust public information systems are essential for societal resilience.
