2021 Population And Housing Census

How to respond

What to expect during listing

During listing, special serial numbers are assigned to structures in every Enumeration Area (EA) for the purpose of identifying the structures for actual enumeration. A serial number preceded by 2021PHC will be written in chalk on the external walls of all structures that listed. In addition, an enumerator (a census official) will collect some information on the type and the use of the structure, and the number of persons that usually reside within the structure.
