Microcensus first results – population in families/living arrangements at their main residence.

As of reference year 2020 there have been two types of results: first and final results. The results currently shown are first results.
During the Covid-19 pandemic the microcensus was redesigned methodologically. The results of 2020 onwards are therefore comparable with the results of previous years only to a limited extent. For details please refer to the methodological notes.
