Hi Barbara,
It makes sense to have Locations in the Location field. Then you can
use the Show list from the Master Location list to see everyone
connected with a particular place (or group of places). You can't do
this if some of the information is in the description field.
Whether you want to have a Residence event sourced with the Census or
also have a census event is up to you.
I have some Residence events sourced with several censuses as the
family hasn't moved. I tend to only add separate residence events for
key people.
I like to have Census Events as I can then see at a glance whether
I've found every relevant census for that individual. I don't always
include the Census Events in a report. You can make them all Private
very easily by ticking the relevant box in the edit dialogue from the
Master Event list (or the Edit Event Sentence Definition button)

In Family Tree Maker, I used the Residence event as the place where I
recorded census information. It came into Legacy like this: For example, I
might have an event named Residence, and in the description it might say
Hickory Township, Carroll County, Arkansas, USA. The date would be the year
of the census, say 1850. The Location field is blank.
Should I have a different procedure--is that where the census information
goes, or should I put it somewhere else? If I leave Residence as an Event,
should I delete what is now in Description and put it in the Location field
of the event?
Thanks,
Barbara
