The Sixth National Population Census of China Database (NPCC) contains the entire data that was officially released by the Statistics Bureau of China, including population data of the whole country, 31 provinces and centrally administered municipalities, and 2872 counties. Data sets covered include but not limited to gender, age, nationality, permanent residence registration, education level, industry, occupation, social security, marriage, fertility, death, housing, and migration.
