The census, which is as old as civilization, is the origin of Official Statistics. It measures various sociodemographics properties of the population which were, are and will be of importance for social scientists, historians, policy makers and government. A census is a very valuable source of information but its description of society formed by the connections between people is very limited. It records people living on the same address, but it fails to capture the broader network of relationships: family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and acquaintances. Most demographic statistics describe (aggregates of) properties of inhabitants. If Official Statistics strives to measure society, describing the network of relations between people that form the fabric of society can be a source of interesting demographic statistics. Is the strength of family ties regionally correlated? How diverse are personal networks? Given the current demographic trend in most countries that the average age is increasing, do parents live close to their children or is this distance increasing? At Statistics Netherlands a research program was formed that tries to use complexity science and network analysis to derive new and additional official statistics. Several projects are started including deriving a enterprise to enterprise network for describing economic networks, but also a project to derive a social network of the Netherlands. This abstract describes the derivation of a directed network with family, dwelling, neighbor, school going children and coworkers relationships for the 17 million inhabitants of the Netherlands and some of its potential use for producing official statistics from it.
