Population and Housing Census

A Population and Housing Census is a comprehensive survey conducted at regular intervals, usually every ten years, to gather crucial information about a country's residents and their living conditions. It collects data on the number of people, demographics (age, gender, ethnicity), household sizes, and types of housing. This information helps governments and organizations make informed decisions regarding resource allocation, urban planning, and public services. By understanding the population's needs, authorities can better address issues such as schools, healthcare, and infrastructure, leading to improved living standards for everyone.
