Censuses are the widest-ranging and most important primary source of statistical information. Given the periodicity of censuses (every 10 years), changes can be compared over time (evolution) and between countries, since they are carried out on similar dates almost everywhere in Latin America and the Caribbean. Their results provide basic information on housing, households and individuals; they are also the only instrument capable of providing data for small geographical areas.

The causes of death in the region have changed, shifting to adult ages and centring on chronic and degenerative diseases, alongside violence and acciden…
