The Latin plural of census is census although the last u should be
long rather than short if you are saying it. It is 4th declension. In
English it is normally censuses because census doesn't sound right to
us.
As to using the master list, it all depends on how you use it. I have

Sorry, but I think Google is probably wrong. Most Latin nouns ending

It is probably best to forget the idea of four words to describe a place. In
the English scheme you tend to use country (useful if sending to people in
other countries), then county and then a description of where the place is.
If it is a village, use the village. If it is a very small village,
