Why travel to home town for census during Caesar Augustus rule?
You are probably referring to the Census of Quirinius which was held during the reign of Augustus. In 4 BC, on the death of Herod the Great who had ruled the client kingdom of Judea (which covered a territory which was much larger that Judea) was divided among his three sons. Herod Aechelaus became ethanrch of one of these states, Judaea (biblical Judah) Samaria and Idumaea (biblical Edom). His rule was so bad that Augustus deposed him after a petition form his people against him in 6 AD. Augustus merged Juadea, Samaria and Idumaea into the Roman province of Judaea. It was a satellite of the larger Roman province of Syria and was governed by a prefect, an official who was a subordinate of the governor of Syria. The other states remained client kingdoms. When Publius Sulpicius Quirinius was appointed governor of Syria and Coponius became prefect of Judaea to enforce Roman direct rule in 6/7 AD, to hold a census. This was more than a count of the population. It was an enrolment for taxation purposes. The head of the family had to provide his name, age and relationship to him of the household and details of their property, and anyone who lived on it, including employees, lodgers and slaves. A passage in the gospel of Luke says that people had to go to their towns of origins to register and that this was why Jesus, a Galilean, was born in Bethlehem, in Judea. Joseph and Mary had to travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem because Joseph was a descendant of "the house and family of David". However, this doubted by biblical scholars. It would place the birth of Jesus at a later date than that given in the Gospel of Matthew and in another passage in this same gospel which say that Jesus was born during the reign of Herod the Great, who died ten years earlier. Moreover, there is no historical mention of a Roman census which covered the entire population. They concerned only Roman citizens. In addition to this, Roman censuses did not require people going back to their places of origin. It was the census takers who travelled to people, not the other way round. Finally, Galilee was not part of the Roman province of Judaea and remained the client kingdom of Galilee and Perea.
