In addition, demographic surveys can be a name given to surveys that contain mostly demographic information although they also contain information of a non-demographic nature. Population censuses attempt to measure characteristics of the total population of a country or territory through the full enumeration of all persons and relevant events.

This was done for the first time in 1940, in the United States)
