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 1960 Togo de facto and de jure census collected data through face-to-face interviews on housing, employment, and education. Enumeration took place from November 1958-July 1959 for urban areas and November 1959-December 1960 for rural areas. A 10% sample of households in seven urban areas from the census (13,759 individuals) is available through IPUMS International at the University of Minnesota.
