census

census. The official counting of people to compile social and economic data for the political subdivision to which the people belong. Pl. censuses.[Cases: Census

1. C.J.S. Census §§ 5, 8.]

federal census. A census of a state or territory, or a portion of either, taken by the Census Bureau of the United States. • The Constitution (art. I, § 2) requires only a simple count of persons for purposes of apportioning con-gressional representation among the states. Under Congress’s direction, however, the census has evolved to include a wide variety of information that is useful to businesses, historians, and others not affiliated with the federal government. [Cases: Census

1. C.J.S. Census §§ 5, 8.]
