Notes : The Population By-census conducted by the Census and Statistics Department in July to August 2006 provides a benchmark for revising the
population figures compiled since the 2001 Population Census.  In the above table, population-related figures from 2002 to 2005 have been
revised accordingly.
Figures are compiled based on the data obtained from the General Household Survey for the four quarters of the year.
