This refers to the number of people living in a given area on January 1st of the year in question (or December 31st of the previous year). The data reported by countries may be based either on the latest census, adjusted for changes in population since the census, or on population registers. "Usual residence" is defined as the place where a person typically spends their daily rest period, excluding short-term absences for activities such as recreation, holidays, visits to family or friends, business, medical treatment, or religious pilgrimages. Only those who meet one of the following criteria are considered usual residents: individuals who have lived in the area for at least 12 consecutive months before the reference date, or those who moved to the area within the past 12 months with the intention of staying for at least one year.
