Census

In the mid-19th century the colonial statisticians encouraged compatibility between the colonies in their respective censuses, and in 1881 a census was held simultaneously in each of the colonies.[1] This was part of a census of the British Empire. The questions posed in the colonies were not uniform.

The population of Australia was 2,250,194.[2]
