Purpose
Monitoring population characteristics
The census is used to monitor the growth, geographic distribution, and evolution of characteristics of the population over time.
Political representation
The population results of this census were used to determine the number of federal deputies for each state.

Stimulus programs
The census data was used to identify locations that needed stimulus programs for economic growth and social development.
Identify areas of diagnosis
The information gathered by the census was used to identify and bring to the attention of state or municipal governments areas of diagnosis, such as insufficient water and sewage networks, medical care, and schooling.
