The first population counts took place in the late 1800's while the first Tokelauan census in which the Department of Statistics was involved in planning, development and design was the 1986 census. It was then followed by other censuses in: 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, then this one in 2011.
Information from the census provides an overall view of the people of Tokelau and the places where they live. Census information is used to plan vital public services, such as education, health, housing, and transport. It is also used to help understand how society changes over time.
