In addition to the basic information about the number of persons and households, it provides a great deal of useful information about the demographic, social and economic characteristics of the population. Census informations yields comparable statistical information for different areas and social groups. If the information collected in the 1986 Census is combined with earlier censuses in Western Samoa it provides a continuity of statistics from which changes over time can be measured.
