Ukrainian Census (2001)

Encyclopedia : U : UK : UKR : Ukrainian Census (2001)

The first Ukrainian Census after the dissolution of the Soviet Union was carried out by State Statistics Committee of Ukraine on December 5, 2001, twelve years after the last All-Union census in 1989.

The total actual population recorded was 48,457,000 persons, of which urban population was 32,574,000 (67.2%), rural: 15,883,000 (32.8%), male: 46.3%, female: 53.7%. The total permanent population recorded was 48,241,000 persons.

The census recorded over 130 nationalities, of which recorded were:

Ukrainians: 37,541,700
Russians: 8,334,100
Belarusians: 275,800
Moldovans: 258,600
Crimean Tatars: 248,200
Bulgarians: 204,600
Hungarians: 156,600
Romanians: 151,000
Poles: 144,100
Jews: 103,600
Armenians: 99,900

We can observe that Romanians are practically the third nation in the country, as they were divided into "Romanians" and "Moldovans" - this is based on an old communist soviet vision of splitting and rulling.

There were 454 cities and towns, 9 of them with population over 500,000.
