1830-1880 and 1900 Censuses were as of June 1
1890 census not available apparently June 2 - I'm guessing June 1 was a Sunday (I just looked and it was a Sunday)
1910 census April 15
1920 census January
1930 and since that are available was April 1

The censuses were not all completed on those dates. It was just the date set for determining age and other date related info.

From my viewing of many censuses. It probably took about 30 days or so to complete them.
