Summary 

Censuses provide population numbers, household or family size and composition, and information on sex and age distribution. They often include other demographic, economic and health-related topics as well. The 1996 Uruguay census collected data through face-to-face interviews on the subjects of housing, household demographics, employment, education, fertility, and migration. The census day was May 22.

A 10% sample of households from the census (315,920 individuals) is available through IPUMS International at the University of Minnesota. Refer to the IPUMS website for guidelines on citing database versions.
