I have at least 15 residences for a grandfather in less than 10 years.
His first four children were all born in different towns, and the rest
were born all over the place in Philadelphia. I think he could not pay
the rent. So yes, I have a lot of residence events for him. And all
the children living with him at the time have the residence event as
well -- so my father and his siblings have a lot of residence events.
But I do also list the census as an event, with full notes. It makes it
easier for me to find things.

Interesting idea - if I understand - it might happen that you have
MANY residence events for a single person. I lived in three places in
less that 1 year (just for an example). So if I found evidence for
each location - each would be a different residence event? I have
grandparents living in 5 different places over 60 years of census data
- resulting in 5 residence events?
Just thinking aloud...

I also do not use Census events. I list all items from a census to
appropriate events: name, residence, birth, occupation, education, real
estate, etc and use the census as a source. So if I see a residence for
1920, for example, I can easily see what the source is, whether it's a
census or directory or whatever. Each person on each census gets all items
of info entered. Perhaps I'm a little pedantic.
For what it's worth, I enter a residence event as:
Event: Residence
Desc: with his father in law at 232 Washington Ave. in
Date: Jan 1, 1920
Place: Kingston, Ulster Co., New York, USA
Then I source that event:
Master Source: US Federal Census
Detail: 1920 NY, Ulster, ED 64, sheet 4b, line 13
I copy the residence event with its source, and use it for each member of
the household. I use the line number of the head of the household for each
member. If I have used a relationship such as "with his father in law" I
change that to read "with her father" or for children, "with his/her
grandfather".

Ah, Cathy.
Now I understand why we have had similar discussions in the past. I do not
use Census Events and *only* use censuses as Sources for other events eg
Residence, Name, Occupation etc etc.
Hence I have these events for *all* my individuals - if applicable.
