Here’s the latest available overview on Morocco’s census.
Morocco completed its 2024 General Population and Housing Census (RGPH 2024). The campaign wrapped up with about 55,000 enumerators and staff involved and data collection centered in households nationwide. This census aims to provide up-to-date details on population size, demographics, housing conditions, and social indicators to guide planning. [source: reporting on the 2024 RGPH process]
Preliminary figures from late 2024 indicated the country’s population had risen to roughly the high 30 millions, with estimates around 36.8 million reported in some outlets as of late 2024, reflecting a decade of demographic growth and new household data. Note that official final results and full tables typically follow several months of data processing and quality checks. [sources: multiple post-census summaries and press releases]
The census data are being analyzed to illuminate trends in urbanization, age structure, literacy, and regional development, with results expected to inform policies on labor markets, social protection, and public services. Authorities have underscored the census as a tool for evidence-based governance and targeting of programs. [source: governance and planning communications tied to RGPH 2024]

If you’d like, I can pull the most recent official releases or press statements and summarize the final census tables (population by region, age groups, urban/rural split, housing characteristics) with sources. I can also provide a brief timeline of key milestones from launch to results. Would you prefer a concise official-summary or a detailed table-based extract?
Note: If you need precise numbers or the latest official final figures, I can search for the most current government releases and international coverage and cite them.
