Panama Population and Housing Census 1960 - 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 1960 Panama de facto census collected data through face-to-face interviews on the subjects of housing, household demographics, employment for those 10 and older, education, and migration. A short enumeration form with questions on fertility, smallpox vaccination, agriculture, and domestic industry was administered to indigenous populations. The census day was December 11, 1960. A 5% sample of households from the census (53,553 individuals) is available through IPUMS International at the University of Minnesota. Dwellings are not identified in the sample.
