The CZSO has published data on a place and a type of registered residence from 2021 Census results. The basic data on the number of inhabitants with a registered residence is available up to the level to the smallest territorial units.

In the 2021 Census, as well as in Census ten years ago, the place of usual residence, i.e. the actual place of person’s residence, was surveyed as a basic data on a residence. In the Census, the CZSO also collected data on the place and type of registered residence. However, the respondents did not fill this data in the questionnaire. For 2021 Census, the data was taken from information systems of Ministry of Interior, where data concerning citizens of the Czech Republic and foreigners with registered residence in the Czech Republic are recorded.

By far the most common type of a registered residence was the permanent residence of a citizen of the Czech Republic which had according to the 2021 Census 95.0% of the population. Another 2.5% of the Czech population had the permanent residence of a foreigner and 2.2% had the long-term residence of a foreigner.

The place of registered residence is not always identical to the place of usual residence of a person but it is the most common case. The proportion of inhabitants who had registered their residence in the municipality of usual residence was 92.0%. A further 3.3% of the population had registered their residence in a region other than the region of their usual residence. The share of inhabitants whose registered residence was in another municipality of the county was 2.7% and the proportion of inhabitants whose registered residence was in another county of the region was 1.6%.

The published results in the form of tables and cartograms up to the level of regions are available on the website scitani.cz. The data for all territorial units up to the level of municipalities and municipality or administrative districts are available in the CZSO Public Database. The basic data on number of inhabitants with a registered residence is available up to the smallest territorial units (parts of municipality, parts of municipality – segments, basic settlements unit and basic settlements unit – segments).
