Notes

CBSL Economic and Social Statistics, table 2.11. Compiled by DCS. National Level Findings of the HIES by Survey Period, 1985/86-2019. Periods are HIES survey rounds (freq I), dated at the round's first year: '1985/86' is 1985-01-01, a bare '2002' is 2002-01-01. Rs./No./% units are folded into each row's own name from the sheet's own Unit column; % rows are matched automatically by load_ess's own '%' detection, and the 'units' regex map above routes the Rs. rows to unit 'Rs' and the two count rows ('Household size', 'No. of income receivers per household') to 'count' by their name text, since the sheet's Unit column itself is blank or 'No.' for those and the entry-level default would otherwise mislabel them. The three Gini coefficient rows have no unit in the sheet and are matched by name to 'ratio'. The 1985/86 and 2005 Poverty Head Count Ratio cells are blank in the source (kept blank, not estimated).
