The Tanzania Buildings Census Report, published in March 2024, presents data that was carried out during the Population and Housing Census (PHC) in August 2022. It is considered to be the first Census of its kind and land use planners seem to be excited with the findings.
A Census is a complete process of counting the total population of an area or a jurisdiction, involving the systematic collection, recording, and calculation of information about its members. The process is used to gather demographic, economic, and other data about a population within a specific period. Current practice is for a National Census to be carried out every 5 or 10 years.
