I have found cases where people were in two different locations for the same census year. One was a child visiting relatives. Another was a farmer who had a home in town & another outside of town. I haven't found anyone in the middle of a move yet, but these were interesting.

AH..but in 1900 the date of the census is 1 June 1900 and the census in 1910 is the 15 April 1910 and 1920 is 1 January 1920 and 1930 is 1 April 1930 therefore the date is important because if they moved one month later you now would have a different event date. Maybe in a high percentage of cases it would not make a difference but there are times when you discover migration it is good to have the correct and total date to make the story of that person clearly understood.
