The above are the most updated reports so far released by the Census and Statistics Department.
Owing to rounding, there may be a slight discrepancy between the sum of individual items and the total as shown in the table.
The boundaries of the Wan Chai district and Eastern district adopted since 2016 are different from those adopted in 2015 and earlier years. Therefore, figures of the Wan Chai and Eastern districts for 2016 and thereafter are not strictly comparable with those for 2015 and earlier years in this table.
