Official population survey (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

census

(Other definitions for census that I've seen before include "Head count" , "Periodic counting of the population" , "Official survey" , "Periodic count by statisticians" , "Periodic count as of population" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
