A census is a count of the population taken by a government primarily for demographic or taxation purposes. No regular census records (in direct comparison to the U.S. Censuses) are found in Sweden. Population registration was done through the household examination records ([[Sweden: Household Examination Records (Husförhörslängder)|''husförhörslängd'']]), the annual Mantals tax ([[Swedish Mantalslängd|mantalslängd]]), and the real estate tax on the farms (jordeböcker). | A census is a count of the population taken by a government primarily for demographic or taxation purposes.
