Methodology for the calcultation of the population linked to the municipality

The Population and Housing Census 2011 has been conceived as an operation combining:

  • A pre-census file created from the maximum use of the available administrative registers, taking the Municipal Register as the basic element of its structure.
  • Fieldwork that includes two large operations:
    • A comprehensive Building Census that enables geo-referencing all buildings.
    • A large sampling survey in order to ascertain characteristics of persons and dwellings.

The population figures have been obtained through the recount of the registers contained in the pre-census file, weighted -when it is necessary- with some recounting elements obtained from the survey.
