Census Conducting
Conducting a Census
Most nations create a permanent national statistical agency to take the census. In the United States, the Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau), an agency of the Department of Commerce, conducts the national population census and most economic censuses. In Canada, the Census Division of Statistics Canada is responsible for taking censuses.
Conducting a census involves four major stages. First, the census agency plans for the census and determines what information it will collect. Next, it collects the information by mailing questionnaires and conducting personal interviews. Then the agency processes and analyzes the data. Finally, the agency publishes the results to make them available to the public and other government agencies. (1)
