Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

The 2004 Census in Transnistria was organized by Transnistria at roughly the same time that Moldova held its own census which Transnistria refused to participate in out of principle and deference to its September 2, 1990 Declaration of Independence.

Census results

Total population (including Bender): 555,347 (percentages below refer to this first figure)

Total population (minus Bender): 450,337

• Moldovans: 31.9%
• Russians: 30.4%
• Ukrainians: 28.8%
• Bulgarians: 2%
• Poles: 2%
• Gagauz: 1.5%
• Jews: 1.3%
• Belarusians: 1%
• Germans: 0.6%
• Others: 0.5%

Preliminary data, as shown here, was released forty days after the completion of the census. Final and more detailed results were released with a delay of nearly two years.

Compared with 1989 census, the population decreased with 18%, as result of the economic and political conditions resulted after Transnistria's unrecognized declaration of independence.
