Data entry and coding involved more than 700 persons. This activity was carried out from December 2013 to July 2014. At the same time, consistency criteria and data imputation rules were formulated, in cooperation with the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). For the CA, it was decided to use open-source Free Software technology. The SPSS programme was used to tabulate the results.\n\n2. CENSUS DATA QUALITY\nValidation of the census data was automated.
