Definition: Censo is a Spanish word that refers to an official count of people living in a country, state, or district. It can also mean ground rent or an annuity paid for the use of land. There are different types of censos, such as censo al quitar, which is a redeemable annuity, and censo consignativo, which is a transferable annuity backed by a lien on the debtor's real property.

In modern times, a censor is a person who inspects publications, films, and other media for objectionable content.

@windyMagician: I agree with that. I used to think politics was for people who just wanted attention and were willing to say anything to fit in with a social group. I had a community college professor who changed my mind on that.
