The full national population and housing census report will be released by August next year.
Kenya National Bureau of Statistics Director General Zachary Mwangi says the final report will give more information like household incomes, age brackets and individual wealth.
Mwangi has also said the census report was done within the guidelines set by the United Nations.
On Monday, the KNBS released the first report of the 2019 population and housing census that revealed the population of Kenya stands at 47.6 million people.

The exercise that was conducted in August this year only gave the ratio of men and women, plus the population in each county and their sub-counties.
However, the second and third reports that will be released in the second and third quarter of 2020 will have finer details.
Speaking to Channel One, KNBS Director General Zachary Mwangi said the report will be used in economic and social planning by the two levels of government.
The report will give data, including the number of people, their spatial distribution, age and sex structure, as well as their living conditions and other key socioeconomic characteristics.
Kenya is one of the 17 countries in the world that has undertaken the exercise this year.
Mwangi has further said the census exercise was carried out in accordance with the United Nations guidelines on population census.
In July this year, the United Nations Population Fund revised its strategy for the 2020 census which calls for the use of innovative census technologies and methodologies, greater use of geo-referenced census data to generate demographic intelligence, and a wider dissemination and access to census data.
