The only exception is the 1841 census which was arranged by ''hundreds'' (administrative subdivisions of land). On the census films, each enumeration district includes a title page with the district number and a description of the area covered by the district. | The census office organized the censuses by civil registration districts, which were subdivided into enumeration districts.
