Notes: Figures are compiled based on data collected in the General Household Survey from January to December of the year concerned as well as
the mid-year population estimates by District Council district compiled jointly by the Census and Statistics Department and an inter-
departmental Working Group on Population Distribution Projections.
Statistics involve the use of the population figures in the compilation process.  Annual figures of 2007-2010 have been revised to take into
account the results of the 2011 Population Census which provided a benchmark for revising the population figures compiled since the 2006
Population By-census.
