Paying taxes and 2. Be counted”. “In a census, one shall be counted.” Article 4 part (k) of the Niue Statistics Act 2009 provides for the arrangement of the undertaking of a census of the population and households of Niue in 2006 and every 5th year after. Article 11 (1) of the Niue Statistics Act 2009 also stated that “a statistical survey shall be made only with the written approval of cabinet.” Cabinet’s approval was obtained on June 7th 2011 (CM10 618) and arrangements for the census were made immediately and the Niue Population and Household Census 2011 was held from September 9th to 11th. The 2011 Census was coordinated and implemented by the Statistics Niue Office. The census moment was declared to be the midnight connecting Saturday September 10 and Sunday 11 September 2011. The Niue Census of Population and Household 2011 was one of success. This success was attributed to the collaborated efforts of everyone on Niue; the leaders and heads of government departments, villages and homes, and the enumerators of the census.

Following the devastating events of cyclone Heta in the opening weeks of this year (05 January 2004) there have been some noticeable observations of the changes to the number and settlement of the population of Niue. There was movement of people to and from overseas as well as from one village to another, more so the most affected coastal villages from Hikutavake to Avatele. In order to know the true picture of these movements and changes the national statistics office of the Government of Niue was tasked with the exercise to conduct a comprehensive “Population Head Count of Niue”. The objectives of this exercise was seen as: • To determine the total population of Niue and at the same time re-establish the nominal roll of all people living in Niue and where they are at a certain point in time to be used in estimating the population during that period; • To record the changes and update the appropriate information (Population and Households Census 2001 and the compilation of the National Accounts) contained in the department to reflect; • To serve as a data source for the electoral rolls, planning for school rolls, and social policy in general; and • To be used in times of emergencies such as cyclones as a “guiding roll” of residents or occupiers of the households in each villages.
