Sampling
A combination of complete and sample enumeration was applied for the 2011 AC. The census was taken by complete enumeration of the rural households, agricultural, forestry and fishery households in urban areas, and farms, as well as of the People's committees of communes (using Forms 01-03 as specified below in "Questionnaires" subsection). A sample enumeration was conducted to collect additional in-depth information on household economics from rural households (using Form 04).
Two stage-systematic sampling design was applied for the sample component. In the first stage, EAs (as PSUs) were selected with PPS (the number of rural households was used as a measure of size). In the second stage, 30 households were selected in each sampled EA. A sample of 75 000 households in rural areas (0.5 percent of rural households) was selected from 2 500 EAs in 63 provinces.

A scanning technique was used for one questionnaire (Form 01/TDTNN-HO). Manual data entry was applied for the remaining questionnaire forms. The GSO developed a specific statistical software to store a database and to build up tabulations. Most of the statistical indicators were generated by a specific statistical software, using the SPSS and Stata to extract the data from the AC database. A data warehouse was developed to enable data users to extract and build up tabulations based on the AC database.
Data appraisal
The GSO carried out a PES to evaluate the census coverage and content.
