The French new rolling census


To answer the increasing demand for fresher data and spread the burden of conducting the census over a longer period, the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies has conducted a large program to redesign the census, based on the “rolling census concept” proposed by L. KISH. In this rolling census, every commune below the 10 000 inhabitants threshold will be surveyed once within a five year period ; larger communes will be splitted off into five rotation groups of addresses, each rotation group being surveyed in one of the five years. This paper by Jean-Michel Durr (INSEE, France) presents the principles and the methodology of this operation and the situation at the end of 2004.

Paper presented at the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Seminar on New Methods for Population Censuses, Geneva, 22 November 2004.
