Census in the Papal States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Papal States carried out several censuses and territorial surveys between the 17th and 19th centuries.
According to Alberto Ferrantini, the main demographic documentation of the Papal States consists of the censuses of 1656, 1701, 1708, 1736, 1782, 1844, and 1853, as well as the Riparti territoriali (administrative and demographic distributions) of 1816, 1827, and 1833.[1]
The French administration (1809–1814) also compiled demographic statistics for the departments of the Tibre and the Trasimène, but these were later judged by Ferrantini to contain significant errors and to be unreliable.[1]
