The document defines and describes different types of censuses. It discusses housing censuses, population censuses, and different census techniques including de facto, de jure, and modified de jure methods. The de facto method counts people where they are found on census day, while de jure counts people at their usual place of residence. Modified de jure aims to avoid limitations of the other two. Censuses collect information on geography, economics, personal details, households, and more. They are conducted by governments periodically to provide important national data for planning and research.
