The French attempted 19 census of the area between 1830-1962. While these censuses do provide information about both the native Algerians and French populations, there is more information about Europeans living in Algeria.[1] The last census while Algeria was under French rule was in 1960. Additional censuses were also created in 1966, 1977, 1987, 1998, and 2020.
