Which country's 2019 census reported 47,564,296 people? Kenya. Kenya's 2019 Population and Housing Census, conducted by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, reported 47,564,296 residents.
The count marked a major increase from the 2009 census total of 38,610,097. Kenya's population is notably young, with a large share of residents under 30, reflecting decades of population growth and relatively high fertility compared with many countries outside sub-Saharan Africa.
The census also showed strong regional contrasts. Nairobi was the country's most prominent urban population centre, while the Rift Valley was the largest of the former census provinces by population. Kenya's current administrative system is organized around 47 counties, which replaced the older provincial structure for devolved government.
A common source of confusion is the difference between the headline national total and detailed tables. Some tables may show slightly different subtotals because of presentation categories or revisions, but 47,564,296 is the standard national figure associated with the 2019 census.
