We will send a letter to your household asking the householder to answer questions about the property and the individuals living there.
The householder is responsible for completing the census.
What is a household and who is the householder?
A household is either:
- one person living alone
- a group of people (who don't have to be related) living at the same address who share cooking facilities and share a living or dining area
The householder is a person who individually or jointly meets at least one of following:
- owns or rents the property
- is responsible for paying the household bills and expenses
To complete your census online, use the unique access code in the letter we sent the householder.
Complete your census as soon as possible.
It should take between 20 to 30 minutes to complete and we’d like you to do it as soon as possible. You can save your answers and return to them later if you need to.
If you have not seen a census letter
If you are the householder and think you should have received a letter, contact us to get a unique access code.
If you are not the householder check with them to see if they have the census letter with the unique access code. You can use the code to complete your individual questions.
This may not be possible, or you may not want the people you live with to see your answers. You can get a new code to respond separately to the household. We will send it to you by text.
