The German census of 1895 was one of the first full-scale censae organized on all territories of the German Empire.
Prior to 1871 many German counties organized various local census records, however most of the results did not survive World War II. The 1895 census is the first Volkszählung (GermanPeople count) to be published in the "Statistik des Deutschen Reiches" yearly and survive. It gives detailed info on population, property, religion and nationality in all German territories
However, the record was organized at the peak of the Kulturkampf campaign and it is openly criticized for lowering the number of catholics in most of the areas. Also, the accuracy of the population figures published from the 1895 German census for the Polish territories was "adjusted" to show that the ratio of ethnic Germans to ethnic Poles was much higher than it actually was. This is attributed to the official push to germanize the areas and to legitimize the century of occupation. Also, the Polish language was banned from usage in administration and education and the data for numbers of Polish speakers is also lowered.

By 1980 the Census Bureau conceded that the decennial censuses were undercounting portions of the population, usually low-income and minority groups in the inner cities.
Census officials determined that overall, nearly six percent of the fl and Hispanic populations were uncounted and less than one percent of the white population.
The decennial census of India is the primary source of information about the demographic characteristics of the population of India which is the second biggest country of the world in terms of population.
