Census results

Total population (including Bender): 555,347 (percentages below refer to this first figure)

Preliminary data, as shown here, was released forty days after the completion of the census. Final and more detailed results were released with a delay of nearly two years.

Compared with the 1989 census, the population decreased by 18% due to war, natural decrease and economically motivated emigration.

In terms of religion, approximately 90% of Transnistria's population identified as Christian Orthodox. 6% chose not to respond, and 4% listed other religions (Catholic, Jewish, etc).

Those residents who hold citizenship of Transnistria chose to identify themselves as citizens of Transnistria numbered 508,600 people (more than 90,0% of the permanent population of the republic). Meanwhile, 107,600 thousand people (19,4%) listed themselves as citizens of the Republic of Moldova, while 56,000 people (10,1%) claimed citizenship of the Russian Federation and 44,400 people (8,0%) citizenship of Ukraine.

The cost of the census was estimated US$550 thousand.
