Footnotes

1 - Statistics are compiled from registers.
2 - Data refer to population in housing units and collective living quarters only.
3 - Data refer to population 5 years of age and over.
4 - Including armed forces stationed in the area.
5 - The methodology used for calculating the number of the de facto and de jure population in the 2001 census data differs as follows from the methodology used in previous censuses: the duration that defines a person as being ' temporary present ' or 'temporary absent' is now 'under one year'. The previously applied definition was for '6 months'.
6 - Data refer to mother tongue, defined as the language usually spoken in the individual's home in his or her early childhood.
7 - Because of rounding, totals are not in all cases the sum of the respective components.
8 - These data have been randomly rounded to protect confidentiality. Individual figures may not add up to totals, and values for the same data may vary in different tables.
9 - Including population in off-shore, migratory and shipping.
10 - Data refer to usual language, defined as the language currently spoken, or most often spoken, by the individual in his or her present home.
11 - Data refer to population 2 years of age and over.
12 - Data refer to population 3 years of age or more.
13 - To ensure confidentiality, the values, including totals are randomly rounded either up or down to a multiple of '5' or '10.' As a result, when these data are summed or grouped, the total value may not match the individual values since totals and sub-totals are independently rounded. Similarly, percentages, which are calculated on rounded data, may not necessarily add up to 100%.
14 - Data refer to most frequently reported languages, based on 20 per cent sample data.
15 - Excluding the institutional population.
16 - Data are estimates from the detailed sample enquiry of about one-tenth households in the Hong Kong 2021 Population Census. Data refer to Hong Kong resident population at the census moment, which covers usual residents and mobile residents. Usual residents refer to two categories of people: (1) Hong Kong permanent residents who had stayed in Hong Kong for at least three months during the six months before or for at least three months during the six months after the census moment, regardless of whether they were in Hong Kong or not at the census moment; and (2) Hong Kong non-permanent residents who were in Hong Kong at the census moment. Mobile Residents, they are Hong Kong permanent residents who had stayed in Hong Kong for at least one month but less than three months during the six months before or for at least one month but less than three months during the six months after the census moment, regardless of whether they were in Hong Kong or not at the census moment.
17 - Data are estimates from sample enquiry. Data refer to Hong Kong resident population at the census moment, which covers usual residents and mobile residents.

20 - Data are estimates from sample enquiry.
21 - Population by-census is conducted between two population censuses, adopting a sampling method to select 29,421 housing units in Macao for enumeration, with the unit of observation being the individuals residing in the selected housing units.

Demographic Statistics Database

Source:  United Nations Statistics Division

The United Nations Statistics Division collects, compiles and disseminates official demographic and social statistics on a wide range of topics. Data have been collected since 1948 through a set of questionnaires dispatched annually to over 230 national statistical offices and have been published in the Demographic Yearbook collection. The Demographic Yearbook disseminates statistics on population size and composition, births, deaths, marriage and divorce, as well as respective rates, on an annual basis. The Demographic Yearbook census datasets cover a wide range of additional topics including economic activity, educational attainment, household characteristics, housing characteristics, ethnicity, language, foreign-born and foreign population. The available Population and Housing Censuses' datasets reported to UNSD for the censuses conducted worldwide since 1995, are now available in UNdata.

This latest update includes several datasets on international travel and migration inflows and outflows, and on incoming and departing international migrants by several characteristics, as reported by the national authorities to the UN Statistics Division for the reference years 2010 to the present as available.
