The United Nations defines a population census as the total process of collecting, compiling, and publishing demographic, economic, and social data pertaining to a specific time to all persons in a country or delimited part of a country. As part of a census count, most countries also include a census of housing. It is the process of collecting, compiling and publishing information on buildings, living quarters and building-related facilities such as sewage systems, bathrooms, and electricity, to name a few.

The United Nations lists four essential features of a census:

• Each individual is enumerated separately; the characteristics of each person within the household are recorded separately.

• The census covers a precisely defined territory and includes every person present or residing within its scope. The housing census should include every type of building and living quarters.

• Each person and each type of building and living quarters is enumerated with respect to a well defined point of time.

• The census is taken at regular defined intervals, usually every 10 years.
