A '''census''' is a way of getting [[information]] about every member of a [[population]]. It is usually used for a population of [[wikt:people|people]], but can be used to mean a population of [[animal]]s.
Both the [[United States]] and [[United Kingdom]] have a census every 10 years, or [[decade]]. But in [[Australia]], [[Canada]], [[Japan]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.stat.go.jp/english/data/kokusei/2015/pdf/outline.pdf|title=OUTLINE OF THE 2015 POPULATION CENSUS OF JAPA|website=Statistics Bureau, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan}}</ref> and [[New Zealand]] they have it every 5 years.

A census produces a large [[database]] and sometimes new information technology, such as the use of [[punched card]]s for data, has been invented to handle it.
