"It found the total population of Mainland China to be 1,339,724,852 persons, an increase of 73,899,804 persons from the previous census conducted in 2000."

If that was true, China's population in 2000 would be bigger than 1.26 billion, which is not shown in the chart. The chart shows an increase of more than 90 million.

"The census found a total of 401,517,330 family households in Mainland China, with an average of 3.10 persons per household"

3.1 people per each of the 401 517 330 households gives us 1 244 703 723 people. The census gives 1.34 billion.Qwertzy (talk) 04:02, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For the first issue, there seems to be an issue with the sourcing. The source used for the 2000 population figures in the table is newer, but doesn't quite match the figures originally given in the Fifth Census communique. However, the fifth census communique figures are pretty inexact, so I don't know if we should use them in the table or not.

For the second issue, the article just follows what the statistical communique says, and is sourced as such. It may be that some of the population is not in households or something.--Danaman5 (talk) 22:02, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are there Census data for spaekers of language of PRC? Where I get it? For example quanty of miao language by Chna census? It is strange that 12 ethnics depopulated in 2000-2010. Why?
