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 1969 Kenya de facto census collected data through face-to-face interviews. The census day was August 24, 1969. A 6% sample of households from the census (659,310 individuals) is available through IPUMS International at the University of Minnesota.
