Wanganui District supervisors are gearing up for the official survey of the nation on March 5.
Statistics New Zealand client relationship adviser Rick Kingi is pleased with the response from community groups and organisations in the Wanganui district.
"They are wanting to know what is Census, what are the benefits for them and their whanau, their community," said Mr Kingi.
"While we are interested in individual involvement, it is the accurate collective result we are after," Mr Kingi said of the data collection.
It has been seven years since the last national survey was taken. The Census in 2011 was cancelled because of the devastation in Christchurch after the earthquakes.
