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 2005 Cameroon census was both de facto and de jure. The census day was November 11, 2005, and data were collected through face-to-face interviews.
