Note
As a verb, census takes regular endings with a single s, so censused is both the simple past (they censused the island) and the participle (every household was censused). Whatever is counted becomes the object, human or not: seals, birds and trees are censused as readily as towns. Used without an object, the verb simply means taking the count.
