I suppose..if we're ignoring all the legend and establishment myth.....we could say that the writers could know of a census the same way we do. They either had historical data or a memory of it. Pretty much any incidental can be explained this way.
My particular favorites..though..are places where an author imparts some detail about the time of their writing the story that was not true of the time in which the story is supposed to have taken place. So..that might show that they at least tried to verify the story by reference to then present conditions. They went to a place, for example..and said "Yup, there's a city here so that story is legit" - when..at the time of the story, there wasn't.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
