2021 census

What the figure measures
Armenian ethnic-group usual residents in the UN Statistics Division’s 2021 census record; not citizenship. The database update is not the population reference year.

Data limitation: The Office page gives no population reference year or publication date. This is an attributed community estimate, not a measured 2026 resident count. The separate 2021 census ethnicity figure is 1,967; different dates and definitions prevent reading the difference as a trend.

Community institutions

Latvia: Coverage and source notes

A small selection of institutions, not a complete national directory. Categories without entries remain unverified; absence here does not establish absence in the country.

Directory sources checked:

This is a selected guide, not a complete inventory or a ranking of influence. A direct source documents what an institution publishes about itself; it does not independently verify every claim or establish uninterrupted operation. Directory listings and historical records carry their stated limits. Dates identify the publication, documented activity or report reference period, as described in the entry. Missing source dates are shown explicitly. Inclusion does not imply partnership or endorsement.

Latvia: How to read the figures

A census count, an ancestry response and a community estimate measure different populations. Dates and definitions remain attached to each figure. The covered-country sum uses selected reference values, range midpoints and stated boundaries for “more than” or “up to”; it is not a synchronized population count or a statistical confidence interval. Undated and historical estimates are not current resident counts. The independently published worldwide estimate must not be added to the country sum.
