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 1991 Malaysia de facto census collected data through face-to-face interviews on the subjects of housing, household demographics, employment for those 10 and older, and education. The census day was August 14, 1991, and fieldwork continued until August 30. A 2% sample of occupied living quarters from the census (347,892 individuals) is available through IPUMS International at the University of Minnesota.
