The census of population is produced every five years, although there have been couple of small variations in that. One of those variations was 100 years ago because we had a civil war that did not allow the census to be taken that particular year. Therefore, there will be a gap before the next release of 100-year data, which is to be in 2026. What kind of lead-in will the CSO need? Does the CSO require additional personnel to have the census in a format that can be handed to a body like the National Archives so it can put that online or publicly release it?
