The term "census" appears in literature in both a mundane administrative sense and as a device for broader social commentary. In works like those by Edgar Thurston, it functions as a detailed record of social and caste divisions—for example, noting the returns of specific sub-castes and occupational groups ([1], [2], [3], [4]). Meanwhile, other authors employ the census metaphorically; Gogol uses it to underscore bureaucratic absurdities ([5], [6], [7]), and Walt Whitman pivots it into a symbolic measure of civilization ([8]). Even in genres as varied as mathematical puzzles and philosophical essays, the census is invoked to reflect on numerical categorization and the human condition ([9], [10]), illustrating its versatile role as both an empirical tool and a reflective literary motif.
