    OTHER USAGES

    Figures have been rounded. Therefore discrepancies may occur between the sums of the component items and totals.

    Unless otherwise stated, where source data used included a not stated category, data in this category have been excluded prior to the calculation of percentages. Total numbers shown with such percentages include the number not stated.

    Each chapter contains a national summary table which provides, where possible, ten years of data for a particular indicator. These times series are designed to give a long-term overview and readers should be cautious when interpreting small year to year variations, as some may not be statistically significant.

    Unless otherwise stated, all data from the Census of Population and Housing are based on the location of people on census night, i.e. their place of enumeration.

    Unless otherwise stated, all data from the Census of Population and Housing exclude overseas visitors.
