Administrative Population Edits and Notes:
(1) No detailed population data were available for the Turkish controlled area of Cyprus. Thus, all subnational units in this area were dissolved into one polygon and assigned a single population value. The population values were estimated by calculating the difference between "Total estimated population including estimates of Turkish Cypriots" and "Population in the Government controlled area"for 1992 and 2001. (2) The ''Anthoupoli Refugee Housing Estate'' unit is not listed in the boundary file, but the census Web site suggests it is part of the Lakatameia municipality; therefore the populations of the two areas were aggregated. (3) District level (administrative level 1) growth rates were calculated between the census years 1992 and 2001 and applied to the applied to the municipality (administrative level 2) population figures to extrapolate the data to target years.
