Practical guide
Research population and housing conditions
Choose the geography and counting unit before combining tables.
Establish the population reference
In table 1.22, retain rows at the chosen level. Communes include villages; hierarchical rows must not be added together.
Locality population in the 2021 census ↗Read housing installations
Table 8.22 provides county detail. Compare dwelling categories using the corresponding dwelling total, not population.
Housing with water and sewerage — 2021 census ↗Add an annual series
Verify the county through its NUTS 3 code and retain unit, year and flags. Population on 1 January has a different reference date from the census.
County population — Eurostat NUTS 3 ↗
A pitfall to avoid
Resident population, households and dwellings have different units. A ratio between them may answer a different question from the one intended.
What you can produce
A table recording indicator, unit, geography, period, source and the limits of each comparison.
