Releasing the numbers of inhabitants from the 2011 Census
The numbers of inhabitants for the Federation, Länder and municipalities are expected to be released in spring 2013.
The 2011 Census is based on an innovative and methodologically new procedure that involves a low burden on the population and uses existing administrative data and supplementary surveys.
Processing, checking and combining the data obtained from various sources requires more time than expected. In the entire census process, data quality has top priority.
