Census one-day 'snapshot' important for accurate data capture

Census day this Sunday (30 May)

A one-day 'snapshot' for the Island's 2021 census is important to capture the most accurate data.

Author of the Isle of Man Population Atlas Paul Craine has been speaking ahead of census day this Sunday.

The full process only comes around once every ten years, with an interim census every five years.

Mr Craine explains why the data is taken on one day only:

The census office, at Nivison House on Prospect Hill in Douglas, is open Monday to Friday, 8am to 4:30pm. 

You can call government on 685700 to complete the census over the phone or request a paper copy.
