From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A census is the procedure of systematically acquiring and recording information about the members of a given population. It is a regularly occurring and official count of a particular population. The term is used mostly in connection with national population and door to door censuses' (to be taken every 10 years according to United Nations recommendations), agriculture, and business censuses. The term itself comes from Latin: during the Roman Republic the census was a list which kept track of all adult males fit for military service. The census can be contrasted with sampling in which information is obtained only from a subset of a population, sometimes as an Intercensal estimate. Census data is commonly used for research, business marketing, and planning as well as a base for sampling surveys. In some countries, census data is used to apportion electoral representation (sometimes controversially so - see e.g. Utah v. Evans). It is widely recognized that population and housing censuses are vital for the planning of any society. Traditional censuses are, however, becoming more costly. A rule of thumb for census costs in developing countries has been $1 USD per enumerated person. More realistic figures today are around $3 USD. These approximations should be taken with great care since a variable number of activities are included in different countries (e.g. enumerators can either be hired or requested from civil servants). The cost in developed countries is far higher. The cost for the 2000 census in the U.S. was estimated to be $4.5 billion USD, more than $15 per enumerated person. Alternative possibilities for retrieving data are being investigated. Nordic countries Denmark, Finland and Norway have for several years used administrative registers. Partial and sample censuses are used in France and Germany. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License Where can I get free market information besides the census bureau? Q. I'm looking for market information about small lingerie shops in the US. Info at the census bureau is too broad, limiting titles to Women's clothing and Other clothing. Also, how do I come up with a close to actual estimate for sales projections when I submit my business plan to a bank? Any type of projection I use now would be a guess at best, obviously I don't want to come up too low or too high. Thanks.

Bizstats.com has retail financial ratio and benchmarks data, but the level of aggregation is still broad. They only have data on the broad clothing and accessories store. One of the cheapest source of information I know is Bizminer.com where they breakdown the data by SIC codes. They do have data on women's and children's underwear, which may cover what you need. Their financial analysis report is only $69 as compared to the $599 reports of iBisWorld which is broken down by 4-digit NAICs industry classification.

In this he had to declare his family, wife, children, slaves and riches. Should he fail to do this, his possessions would be confiscated and he would be sold into slavery. But registration meant freedom. A master wishing to free his slave needed only to enter him in the censor's list as a citizen (manumissio censu). Throughout the entire republican era, registration in the census was the only way that a Roman could ensure that his identity and status as a citizen were recognized. Fathers registered their sons, employers their freedmen. Primarily the census served to count the number of citizens and to assess the potential military strength and future tax… [cont.] Answered by Susie T - Thu Nov 5 19:12:47 2009 Why does the government want the answers to these questions on the census?
Q. Here is just a sampling of what is asked on the census forms: 1. What time do you leave for work in the morning? 2. How many times have you been married? 3. Do you have trouble getting dressed? 4. Do you have trouble making decisions? 5. How many cars/trucks do you own? 6. Do you have a flush toilet in your home? What possible reasons could there be for asking these types of questions and do you think it is any of the government's business? Also, will you answer questions like these?
