Is it just me that is confused by this thread?  The OP's question was 
simply: "Anyone aware of well-argued recommendations for how to cite
census 
in GEDCOM SOUR structures?"

As a reminder, the GEDCOM standard SOUR structure is:
  n  @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 SOUR  {1:1}
    +1 DATA        {0:1}
      +2 EVEN <EVENTS_RECORDED>  {0:M}
        +3 DATE <DATE_PERIOD>  {0:1}
        +3 PLAC <SOURCE_JURISDICTION_PLACE>  {0:1}
      +2 AGNC <RESPONSIBLE_AGENCY>  {0:1}
      +2 <<NOTE_STRUCTURE>>  {0:M}
    +1 AUTH <SOURCE_ORIGINATOR>  {0:1}
      +2 [CONT|CONC] <SOURCE_ORIGINATOR>  {0:M}
    +1 TITL <SOURCE_DESCRIPTIVE_TITLE>  {0:1}
      +2 [CONT|CONC] <SOURCE_DESCRIPTIVE_TITLE>  {0:M}
    +1 ABBR <SOURCE_FILED_BY_ENTRY>  {0:1}
    +1 PUBL <SOURCE_PUBLICATION_FACTS>  {0:1}
      +2 [CONT|CONC] <SOURCE_PUBLICATION_FACTS>  {0:M}
    +1 TEXT <TEXT_FROM_SOURCE>  {0:1}
      +2 [CONT|CONC] <TEXT_FROM_SOURCE>  {0:M}
    +1 <<SOURCE_REPOSITORY_CITATION>>  {0:1}
    +1 <<MULTIMEDIA_LINK>>  {0:M}
    +1 <<NOTE_STRUCTURE>>  {0:M}
    +1 REFN <USER_REFERENCE_NUMBER>  {0:M}
      +2 TYPE <USER_REFERENCE_TYPE>  {0:1}
    +1 RIN <AUTOMATED_RECORD_ID>  {0:1}
    +1 <<CHANGE_DATE>>  {0:1}

and the citation within a referencing record structure is:
  n SOUR @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
    /* pointer to source record */  {1:1}
    +1 PAGE <WHERE_WITHIN_SOURCE>  {0:1}
    +1 EVEN <EVENT_TYPE_CITED_FROM>  {0:1}
      +2 ROLE <ROLE_IN_EVENT>  {0:1}
    +1 DATA        {0:1}
      +2 DATE <ENTRY_RECORDING_DATE>  {0:1}
      +2 TEXT <TEXT_FROM_SOURCE>  {0:M}
        +3 [ CONC | CONT ] <TEXT_FROM_SOURCE>  {0:M}
    +1 QUAY <CERTAINTY_*****SMENT>  {0:1}
    +1 <<MULTIMEDIA_LINK>>  {0:M}
    +1 <<NOTE_STRUCTURE>>  {0:M}

I see nothing here that is not self-explanatory.  What is it in the OP's 
question that I am not understanding?
