Ireland Population and Housing Census 1971 - IPUMS

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 1971 Ireland de facto census collected data through face-to-face interviews and self-enumeration on the subjects of housing, household demographics, employment, education, migration, and fertility. The census day was April 18, 1971. A 10% sample of households from the census (296,878 individuals) is available through IPUMS International at the University of Minnesota. Dwellings and vacant units are not identified in the microdata sample. Refer to the IPUMS website for guidelines on citing database versions.
