Obs:

In 2025, CSB changed the method for producing population estimates. Since 2012, a logistic regression model was used, but going forward, the Sol-Logit model will be applied. The methods are similar, with the main difference being that the logistic regression model is a supervised model trained on data from the Population and Housing Census 2011, whereas the Sol-Logit model is unsupervised model and does not require training data.
To ensure comparability, the data for 2023 and 2024 have also been recalculated using the new method.
Metadata Since 2020 data by ethnicity are published only on indicators that were observed in at least 10 individuals. If ethnicity is indicated with “…”, in the respective year these persons were included in “other ethnicities, including not selected and not indicated ethnicity”. ... = Data not available or too uncertain for presentation
