Notes: CBSL Economic and Social Statistics, table 3.19. Compiled by DCS. Population by district, religion and ethnicity, at the 2012 and 2024 censuses (the file's own title still says only "2012 Census"; the 2026 edition added a second block for 2024, found by dumping the sheet rather than trusting the old title). Department of Census and Statistics. freq "I". District total population here should match table 3.17's District/Census/Total column for the same two censuses (checked by wf3_D_verify_census.py, not just declared).

One vintage so far, published 31 Aug 2026. Revisions show here once a later release changes a value.
