Note: For comparability reasons, the data from the 2001 and 2006 censuses have been adjusted to account for net undercoverage and incompletely enumerated reserves. The trends from 2006 to 2011 must be interpreted with caution because of changes made to the questionnaire and the methodology of the census program in 2011.
