Census includes the total process of collecting, compiling, analyzing, evaluating, publishing and
disseminating statistical data regarding the population and housing and their geographical location.

Census Methods:
Population censuses typically use one of two approaches:

1. De facto – meaning enumeration of individuals as of where they are found in the census,
regardless of where they normally reside.
2. De jure - meaning enumeration of individuals as of where they usually reside, regardless of
where they are on census day.
