A technical reference handbook prepared for CARICOM under the Caribbean Census Project, this draft manual provides practical guidance on the editing and imputation of population and housing census data. It explains the purpose of census editing, the role of editing teams, coding considerations, quality assurance, and methods for identifying, correcting, and imputing invalid, missing, or inconsistent data. The handbook also covers detailed editing procedures for demographic, social, economic, housing, emigrant, crime, environmental, and derived census variables, making it a useful resource for statisticians, census managers, and data processing specialists involved in census data quality management.
