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 1987 West Germany de jure census collected data through self-enumeration on subjects of housing, household demographics, education, and employment. Population and dwelling questionnaires were used to obtain data. The census day was May 25, 1987.
