More than £400,000 will be spent later this year conducting an interim census.
Statistics Isle of Man will conduct the data gathering exercise in April.
The Cabinet Office was successful in gaining the funding for it as part of this year’s Budget which was approved by Tynwald this week.

Minister David Ashford says it’s one of the most important tools we have for planning a ‘sustainable and well-supported’ future:
Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital closure 'inconvenient' but 'significant issues' need to be fixed
Four local authorities looking for by-election candidates
Reinstatement of home births 'remains at top of agenda' for Manx Care
Weekend sailings at risk
