Censuses are a count and a description of the population. They are taken primarily for population studies, taxation, and military purposes. Information in censuses may include residences, ages, birthplaces, family members and relationships, occupations, emigration dates and migration. A analysis of statistical information (not individual data) is available at [http://www.stats.govt.nz/browse_for_stats/snapshots-of-nz/digitised-collections/census-collection.aspx]. Most New Zealand census returns have been destroyed so researchers use substitutes which list people, such as [[New Zealand Directories|almanacs and directories]], [[Electoral Rolls of New Zealand and their Boundaries|electoral rolls]], [[New Zealand Land and Property|lists of property owners and occupants]], [[New Zealand Court Records|juror lists]], [[New Zealand Voting Records|New Zealand Electoral Rolls]], and [[New Zealand Schools|school records]]. | |||

Information about people in New Zealand includes details about the population (eg births, deaths, age, education, ethnicity, life expectancy), the communities we live in (eg families and households, housing, work and income), and social themes (eg crime, the road toll, poverty). | |||
Information about population includes details about the number and characteristics of people who live in New Zealand. These numbers are produced as: | |||
*counts (from five-yearly censuses that count people and their characteristics, eg age, sex and ethnicity) | |||
*estimates (estimated changes to the population using census counts and births, deaths and migration) | |||
*projections (projected future changes to the population). | |||
Population information also provides details about events that affect the number and structure of the population. These include births, deaths, migration, marriage and divorce. | |||
The population of New Zealand was enumerated from 1858 to the present. However, the pre-1966 returns have been destroyed with the exception of a few for the Maori population (1891-FamilySearch Library {{FSC|129361|title-id|disp=film 449437, item 2}}; 1911-FamilySearch Library {{FSC|135946|title-id|disp=film 449444, item 8}}). Post-1966 returns are closed to the public until 2066. | |||
Since most census returns have been destroyed, researchers use substitutes which list people, such as [[New Zealand Directories|almanacs and directories]], [[Electoral Rolls of New Zealand and their Boundaries|electoral rolls]], [[New Zealand Land and Property|lists of property owners and occupants]], [[New Zealand Court Records|juror lists]], [[New Zealand Voting Records]], and [[New Zealand Schools|school records]]. | |||
