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]. | Censuses are a count and a description of the population.

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 Registers|New Zealand Electoral Rolls]], and [[New Zealand Schools|school records]]. | ||
