Demographic features of the population of Uzbekistan include population growth, population density, ethnicity, education level, health, economic status, religious affiliations, and other aspects of the population. While the national identity is Uzbek, the ethnic Uzbek majority distinguishes itself from other ethnic groups within the country. Much of the data is estimated because the last census was carried out in Soviet times in 1989. Uzbekistan is preparing to conduct its first census since its independence in February 2026.
