In addition, the census provides data on households and families as well as on dwellings, their size and installations in them, which is further used as a base for the analysis of the housing situation and the housing standard. Census data are necessary for implementing various economic and social development policies or scientific research. Considering the numerosity of units to be enumerated as well as the number and variability of response modalities, the Census is the most comprehensive statistical survey that requires huge financial means and special organisation (outside the framework of regular statistical surveys). The Census includes the process of collection of data in the field, data processing, aggregating of individual data, evaluation, dissemination and analysis of data.
