Known issues

  • Figures were extracted from the UBOS PDF reports. A table was kept only where every parent equals the sum of its children; about a dozen district tables (or parts of them) failed that check and are left out.
  • Census names are matched to portal units by name within their parent. Units the portal has under a different name or parent, and new units, have no figures (about 8% of parishes).
  • UBOS district figures include the municipalities inside the district; the portal lists municipal councils separately, with their own figures.
  • Where the portal has the same place twice, the figures go to the entry with the most children.
