SUMMARY2022: "indio" enters the census, and 34.2% choose it (Dominican Republic, X Censo Nacional, 2022) [Connections: Latin America & Caribbean, Nov 5, 2026]
RECORDThe 2022 census asked a self-identification question (ages 12+) with options including black, white, indio, mulato, mestizo, Asian and other. Results: Indio/a 2,946,377 (34.2%); Moreno/a 2,237,370 (26.1%); White 1,611,752 (18.7%); Mestizo/a 665,387 (7.7%); Black 642,018 (7.5%); Mulatto/a 330,207 (3.8%). Monte Cristi (on the Haitian border) had the highest Black share, 16.29%
PATTERNWhen people name themselves instead of a clerk, "indio" is still the largest single answer, but far below the 82% the ID office had assigned
