Housing and Population Census

A Housing and Population Census is a comprehensive survey conducted regularly to count and gather detailed information about people and the homes they live in within a country. It helps governments understand demographic changes, housing conditions, and community needs. This data informs policy decisions, resource allocation, and development plans. The census involves collecting data on factors like age, gender, occupation, household size, and housing features through questionnaires or interviews. Accurate census data ensures that services and infrastructure are effectively planned to meet the population's current and future requirements.
