Household form

The Census Household Form (online or paper) is the primary means for collecting Census data and is used in all private dwellings. The household form records details about the dwelling and characteristics of people in the dwelling. It records details of up to six people on the paper form and up to ten people on the online form, and extra forms need to be used if there are more people than this.
