Questionnaire Types for Census 2021

Census 2021 used several types of questionnaires, tailored to different types of establishments. These included:

  • Household questionnaire
  • Household continuation questionnaire
  • Individual questionnaire
  • Communal establishment questionnaire

The design of these questionnaires was informed by extensive public consultation, testing, and a full-scale rehearsal involving members of the general public. This collaborative approach helped ensure the questionnaires were clear, inclusive, and fit for purpose.
