Chinanews.com client, October 31st, does the census “house rounds” require property tax?
In this regard, the official WeChat account of the National Bureau of Statistics recently issued a statement saying that in fact, "checking people" with houses is a common method used in censuses around the world, because people live in houses.
The purpose of "house rounds" in the census is to check the population, and the focus of housing information registration is to understand the population's living conditions, living facilities, and rent levels, in order to better reflect the current livelihood issues.
It was reported on the Internet that "the seventh census included ward round information into the scope of the census for the first time," but in fact it was not the "first time" to include it.
In the past census process, housing situation registration was also involved many times.
Therefore, "house rounds" are just a "routine action" to do a good job in the census, not new items, and no need to over-interpret.
