A census of population is normally
taken every ten years and is carried out by the Census Office, part
of the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA).
The census is undertaken by law and in
accordance with an EC directive. It is taken as it provides the
essential statistical information about the population and households for all parts of the country used by
the Government, business and other professional
research/consultancy organisations.
The next Census will take place on
Sunday 27 March 2011 and more information is available. NISRA also
carried out a Census Rehearsal in parts of Northern Ireland on
11 October 2009. This helped us test our systems and processes to
ensure the 2011 Census runs smoothly.
