Melinda Williams from Bermuda’s Department of Statistics joins us to discuss the 2026 Census of Population and Housing and why every household’s participation matters.
She’ll share what information is being collected, how the census data is used to inform decisions on healthcare, education, housing, infrastructure, and other public services, and the measures in place to protect residents’ privacy. She also explains how to complete the census, why an accurate count is essential, and how the information collected today will help shape Bermuda’s future. The 2026 Census began data collection on May 21, 2026, with online submissions encouraged through July 31, 2026, before follow-up interviews continue into 2027.
