Supplementary notes

Results of the microcensus.

¹ From 2011 based on the representation of the results of the census.

² Because of the effects of changing to a new sample in 2016 and the effects with regard to population development, the comparability of the microcensus results from the 2016 reporting year with previous years is limited.

³ The results of the 2020 microcensus have, due to methodological changes, limited comparability with results from other years. The results from 2020 are also affected by limitations in the survey and therefore should not be compared with the following years.
