A census is the procedure of systematically acquiring and recording information about the members of a given population. The term is used mostly in  connection with national population and housing censuses; other common censuses include agriculture, business, and traffic censuses.

For instance, Michigan did 3 censuses between 1836-1838. Most of the first 30 states had their own censuses done outside of federal censuses.
