Due to weighing and adding up, there may be slight differences in the same aggregates of published absolute numbers.
If a variable (after grossing up) involves an occurrence of 2,500 to 4,999 persons, the data are to be regarded with reservation only because due to the high sampling error they may be incorrect; in case of an occurrence of fewer than 2,500 persons, the data are not usable.
