Censuses and SurveysCENSUSES The Department of Statistics has been conducting censuses on Housing and Population and Agriculture, the latter normally undertaken in every ten (10) years in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture. The Population and Housing Census was carried out every 5 years except the 2001 Census which has a 10 year period. On this page, we try to provide brief descriptions about each activity being undertaken. Included also are key findings or highlights from the results. Full reports (those that are currently available) can be accessed at our products and services page As we continue to improve and expand our website, the content of this page will also be improved.

Census of Agriculture SURVEYS Sample surveys are not cheap to carry out in Samoa. While it would be good to conduct surveys at a more regular intervals - it is the cost of running them that have an impact on how often they are conducted. Apart from the market survey which the Department regularly conducts to compile its monthly CPI, major surveys have aslo been conducted.
