1996 to 2024
¹ The comparability of the time series is limited due to the following methodological changes:
2024: Preliminary results
2021: Data from 2021 onwards are extrapolations using the population update based on the 2022 census.
2020: Redesign of the microcensus.
2016: From 2016, the sample selection basis was updated based on the 2011 census.
2011: Figures from 2011 onwards are extrapolations based on the population update based on the 2011 census.
2005: According to the source, the 2005 Microcensus Act changed the microcensus from a survey with a fixed reporting week (until 2004, usually the last week in April without public holidays) to a continuous survey with a floating reporting week. According to the source, the results from 2005 onwards no longer provide a "snapshot" of a specific calendar week, but provide information about the overall development on average for the survey year. The methodological changes associated with the introduction of the sliding reporting week have so far led to fluctuations in the number of households, particularly single-person households and families/living arrangements.
The statistics refer to private households at their primary residence. The data are results of the microcensus.
