Microdata for most census through 19th and early 20th century did not survive, and were destroyed by choice or by chance.
In 1907, the Ottoman Empire made a decree that expanded record keeping by penalizing those who did not comply. As a result, there is a greater microdata coverage after 1907, and sparse coverage prior to 1907.
 
Nationwide censuses from 1986-present day have survived.
