Peru Closes 2025 Census Fieldwork at 97% Coverage as INEI Opens Recovery Phase

Security escorts are being arranged to reach zones such as Pataz that were inaccessible to enumerators.

Overview

  • Residents not visited can complete the count online at censos2025.com.pe using a Código Único de Vivienda or generating one on the portal.
  • Arequipa launched a 15‑day recovery period after surpassing pre‑census dwelling counts locally, reflecting newly occupied housing detected during fieldwork.
  • Ica reported 99.9% of dwellings enumerated and will deploy targeted revisits alongside the online option to close remaining gaps.
  • Access constraints linked to illegal mining and high‑risk areas blocked teams in Pataz and parts of Lima, with additional difficult zones identified in Pangoa, Calca and Mazamari.
  • INEI said nearly 40,000 staff participated, including about 24,000 enumerators, recording 102 verbal aggressions and roughly 700 accidents, and plans preliminary national results for late March to mid‑April 2026.
