A census is a count and description of the popula-tion of a country, territory, province, state, county, city, or congregation. Census records usually list a large segment of the population and include names; relationships; ages; birthplaces; marital status; and occupations. Other information may be listed such as religion, ethnicity, and native language. | A census is a count and description of the popula-tion of a country, territory, province, state, county, city, or congregation.
