census form

Government head count

A census form is the official document used to collect population data, typically distributed by governments at regular intervals.

Households fill out census forms with information about residents—names, ages, relationships, and demographic details.

The data determines political representation and resource allocation: Make sure everyone in your household is counted on the census form.
