What population did Egypt's 2017 census record?

What population did Egypt's 2017 census record? 94,798,827.

Egypt's 2017 census recorded an estimated population of 94,798,827 on census day, 18 April 2017. It was the country's fourteenth official population census and showed a major increase from the 72,798,031 recorded in 2006.

Egypt's population is heavily concentrated in the narrow Nile Valley and delta, along with the expanding urban corridor around Cairo. Although Egypt covers a large area, most of its land is desert, so the inhabited zone is exceptionally dense. This geography makes the headline population figure especially important for housing, food, transport, and public services.

The figure can be confused with later estimates. Egypt's population passed 100 million after the 2017 census, and the census table lists 103,011,914 for 2022. That later number is not the answer to a question specifically asking for the 2017 census result.
