From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A census is the procedure of systematically acquiring and recording information about the members of a given population. It is a regularly occurring and official count of a particular population. The term is used mostly in connection with national population and door-to-door censuses (to be taken every 10 years according to United Nations recommendations), agriculture, and business censuses. The term itself comes from Latin: during the Roman Republic the census was a list that kept track of all adult males fit for military service. The census can be contrasted with sampling in which information is obtained only from a subset of a population, sometimes as an Intercensal estimate. Census data is commonly used for research, business marketing, and planning as well as a base for sampling surveys. In some countries, census data is used to apportion electoral representation (sometimes controversially so - see e.g. Utah v. Evans). It is widely recognized that population and housing censuses are vital for the planning of any society. However, traditional censuses are becoming more costly. A rule of thumb for census costs in developing countries has been $1 USD per enumerated person. More realistic figures today are around $3 USD. These approximations should be taken with great care since a variable number of activities are included in different countries (e.g. enumerators can either be hired or requested from civil servants). The cost in developed countries is far higher. Alternative possibilities for retrieving data are being investigated. Nordic countries Denmark, Finland and Norway have for several years used administrative registers. Partial and sample censuses are used in France and Germany. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Where can I find information about urbanization from the Census Bureau? Q. I've been looking all over census.gov and can't find anything. What I specifically need is the percentage of the population that lives in urban areas as opposed to rural areas. Can anyone provide a link? Asked by JC - Sat Nov 14 17:46:25 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I found your page below by entering "US population percent urban rural" in the Yahoo search bar. Census information is well indexed in search engines. Just look for your information, not the census. (The Census is nearly 10 years old, and will be taken again next year.) Answered by oohhbother - Sat Nov 14 17:55:50 2009 Where can I get free market information besides the census bureau? Q. I'm looking for market information about small lingerie shops in the US. Info at the census bureau is too broad, limiting titles to Women's clothing and Other clothing. Also, how do I come up with a close to actual estimate for sales projections when I submit my business plan to a bank? Any type of projection I use now would be a guess at best, obviously I don't want to come up too low or too high. Thanks. Asked by lioness_04210 - Sun Feb 26 17:27:17 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The information you require is too specific, and I don't think a free resource exists for your needs. Bizstats.com has retail financial ratio and benchmarks data, but the level of aggregation is still broad. They only have data on the broad clothing and accessories store. One of the cheapest source of information I know is Bizminer.com where they breakdown the data by SIC codes. They do have data on women's and children's underwear, which may cover what you need. Their financial analysis report is only $69 as compared to the $599 reports of iBisWorld which is broken down by 4-digit NAICs industry classification.

Q. Note: Hispanic is not one of the races on the census? I'm guessing 80% or so. Asked by Jeremy Descrist Fuhenstasse Sun - Thu Dec 3 11:40:26 2009 - - 11 Answers - 1 Comments A. Jeremy for someone who claims to be a college grad you're really misinformed. I am starting to wonder about these claims about our broken down education system. But again I am skeptical of that claim as it is. yes it's on the form. So Hispanics that participate witll be included.
