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 1995 de jure census in Mexico was an intermediate census conducted five years after the regular 1990 census. It was the first census of its kind. Data were collected through direct enumeration on subjects of housing, household demographics, employment for those 12 and older, education, migration, disability, and social assistance. The majority of the population completed a short form questionnaire, and a sample completed the long form. The census day was November 5, 1995, and fieldwork was conducted October 23-November 18, 1995.
