Forms to be sent out in April
Preparations are already underway to carry out this year's Island-wide census.
The Government's Economic Affairs Division is hiring new staff and preparing questionnaires for every household - which will also be available to complete online.
The forms will be distributed in early April, ahead of census day on April 24th.
Economic Affairs Research Manager Adam Smith explained why it's an important exercise:
Joanna Simpson killer not eligible for early release from prison
More bus services 'at risk' of cancellation
