The sixth decennial population and housing census, since 1960 was conducted in 2010.

Methodology

The 2010 Housing and Population Census utilized the de jure approach, which involved enumerating all individuals who had either lived or intended to live in Belize for a minimum of six months. This encompasses individuals residing in both households and institutions, regardless of their presence during the enumerator’s visit, as well as individuals found to be living on the streets. The census did not include military personnel and their families residing in military barracks or camps, as well as members of the diplomatic corps residing in the residences of Ambassadors or High Commissioners.
