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 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. Refer to the IPUMS website for guidelines on citing database versions.
