Culminó etapa presencial del censo en Paysandú; en la ciudad se verificaron 50.043 direcciones

The completion of the in-person phase of the 2023 Census marks a pivotal shift toward digital infrastructure in national data collection. Uruguay has achieved a leading position in Latin America by securing a majority of digital responses, demonstrating the viability and public acceptance of online methods. This success implies that future statistical operations can rely more heavily on efficient, scalable digital platforms rather than solely on traditional face-to-face canvassing, setting a regional benchmark for technological adoption. Beyond mere convenience, the massive deployment of census takers and the verification of hundreds of thousands of addresses ensure comprehensive spatial coverage across both urban and rural areas. The transition to digital is not merely an administrative preference but a fundamental improvement in data accuracy and accessibility. By reducing the physical burden on households while maintaining rigorous verification processes through independent evaluation surveys, the statistical institute enhances the overall integrity and reliability of the national demographic database. This evolution is highly relevant to the open data community because it establishes a new paradigm for generating high-quality, accessible statistical information. The successful integration of digital channels creates opportunities for more frequent and granular data releases, potentially reducing the lag between collection and public availability. As the country moves toward processing these vast digital records, open data advocates can anticipate richer, more structured datasets that support advanced analysis, transparency, and innovation in public policy and research.
