1.5- Division of the national territory
Côte d'Ivoire is divided into 16 administrative regions, each region being composed of several departments, further divided into sub-prefectures and/or communes.

For purposes of, first, the rational organization of field data collection teams and, second, ensuring compliance with the technical requirements of the RGPH-98, namely, the exhaustiveness and the simultaneous nature of the count itself, the national territory is divided into very small territorial units, which are juxtaposed in such a way as to cover the precise area of the various administrative districts in question (sub-prefectures, communes, departments, regions, and Côte d'Ivoire as a whole). These territorial units, which are homogeneous in terms of the workload required to complete the population counts within the prescribed time frame, are called Census Districts (CDs). Each sub-prefecture or commune is thus subdivided into Census Districts. The CD is therefore a portion of the national territory entrusted to a Census Taker who must, within a period of no more than three weeks, identify all the households living there. It is the work area of a Census Taker.

The Census District is a carefully demarcated portion of the territory of the sub-prefecture or commune, composed of one or more blocks, villages, or camps, in which all the households of which you must take a census reside. On average, a Census District includes between 1,000 and 1,200 people. The borders of a CD often follow natural obstacles or elements of infrastructure (waterways, mountains, railways, etc.) or the boundaries of administrative districts.
[p.8]

In towns and core villages, the CD boundary actually passes through the middle of a roadway. The CD consists of the following:

a) - In urban areas, the CD consists of one or more blocks or one or more neighborhoods, depending on the population density of the Area.
b) - In rural areas, the CD may consist of:
- the core village alone;
- the core village along with all associated camps;
- a portion of the core village, with or without associated camps;
- several core villages, along with the camps associated with them;
- only the camps surrounding a core village, etc.

The CD file provides all the information about its composition and key characteristics.
