However, a revised figure of 206,264,595 people was the official result, and the population density of the census in 2000 was 108.3 inhabitants/km². In some provinces, estimates were made, like the notably then-secessionist Aceh, and the census was criticized internationally for significant underreporting.

The census also recorded ethnicity. A total of 101 ethnic groups were identified officially, but the real number was estimated to be in the thousands.
