What the Data Shows
Qatar’s census population is tracked across 2004, 2010 and 2015. The comparison uses 3 published values from Qatar National Planning Council, with each period and measurement basis stated. The census population increased from 744,029 in 2004 to about 2.642 million in 2015. The uncertain 2020 value is omitted because published figures vary materially between about 2.68 and 2.80 million.
