The Fifth National Census of Population of the Dominican Republic was taken in 9-10 January 1970, during the presidency of Joaquín Balaguer.
This census collected information aspects of sex, occupation, age, fertility, religion, marital status, nationality, literacy, ability to vote and housing.
Unlike all previous censuses, no information regarding race was collected. This census was made over two days instead of one.
