Cuántos habitantes tiene Argentina, según el Censo 2022

The definitive publication of Argentina’s 2022 Census by INDEC provides the validated, comprehensive dataset necessary for accurate demographic and socioeconomic analysis. This release resolves previous provisional data, offering a complete view of the nation’s population structure, housing conditions, and access to public services. By ensuring all variables for population, households, and dwellings are consistent, the census establishes a reliable baseline for public policy design and academic research. The data reveals a population of over 46 million with a median age of 32, indicating a transition toward an older demographic driven by increased life expectancy. Simultaneously, the dependency index is shifting; while the burden of caring for youth has decreased due to lower fertility rates, the reliance on the elderly has risen. This demographic pivot highlights the growing need for long-term care infrastructure and social security adjustments to support the expanding older population segment. Beyond demographics, the census details critical living standards, showing that nearly 69% of Argentines own their homes and over 90% have access to piped water or internet via mobile devices. Health coverage remains predominantly private, with roughly 61% of the population enrolled in obra social or prepaga, while public health services cater to the remainder. These findings are vital for open data initiatives as they enable transparent monitoring of inequality and infrastructure gaps. The availability of such granular, validated information allows civil society and developers to build tools that hold institutions accountable and improve service delivery based on evidence rather than estimation.
