English term

pre-census?

English Other
the project of a statistical survey, based on a census is subdivided into two work phases: "prior to the census" and "subsequent to the census". In some of the tables, however, I need some short version - is this "pre-census" good, proper English? - own invention :)

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks a lot to both of the answerers and the many supporters, again, points gave me a headache: I decided for Lars because he also gave a reference site (a good one). :)"
