Lots of different ways to manipulate this information. Here's mine. I use the census event more for research tracking and conclusion drawing.
I enter the years in the event description field so that census is always the first event. This way I can see at a glance what years I have found (eg 1990-1905, 1920-1930). I also add a scan to the event photos, just because. The master source, is split by census year, state and county. Individual is that persons information, not head of household. Detail text is a cut and paste of the Ancestry description for that individual. And I connect another scan of the census to the source. Finally, I do not print the census event. I add residence and occupation events and source them with the census source. Once I have the first person set up, it's pretty easy to do the others in the family with a simple cut and paste of each individual's information. Now when I look at the source on the text/comment tab I can do a quick rundown of the info from each census, spot discrepancies and check the image if necessary.
