The first census | The first census in the Austrian Empire was taken in 1754 under Maria Theresia. Because of resistance by the nobility and clergy the next census was not taken in the Austrian Empire (without Hungary) until 1869. Censuses were then taken every decade starting with 1880, 1890, 1900 and the last census in 1910.
