Notes

CBSL Economic and Social Statistics, table 3.22. Compiled by Registrar General's Department. Mid-year population (2021-2025) and population density (2021-2025) by province and district. Registrar General's Department per the sheet's own Source line ('Surveyor General's Office, Registrar General's Department') and its footnote (b) - the same RGD mid-year estimates as table 3.21 (LK.POP.DISTRICT), loaded again here under a different family rather than code-collided into an @ESS mirror, since this family also covers area, which is not that measure (checked against LK.POP.DISTRICT by wf3_D_verify_census.py instead). freq "A" (one estimate per calendar year). Footnote (b), read verbatim from the sheet: mid-year population estimates for 2014-2024 - which covers every year in this table except 2025 - are based on the Census of Population and Housing 2012; the 2025 estimate is based on the Census of Population and Housing 2024 (i.e. 2021-2024 rest on the 2012 census, only 2025 on the 2024 census - the opposite split from an earlier draft of this note). Footnote (c) 'Provisional' is attached to every one of the five year headers (2021(b)(c) through 2025(b)(c)) in both the population and density blocks, not just the most recent year(s).
