Statement

The documentation on methodology will be available as soon as it is finished at https://www.statistik.at/fileadmin/shared/QM/Standarddokumentationen/B_en/engl_std_b_registerzaehlung_2021.pdf Data are transmitted to Statistics Austria at regular intervals (at least annually).As data on various topics are provided by several administrative data holders the quality of the attributes enhances due to the principle of redundancy. A special rule set defined by Statistics Austria picks the most appropriate value for the census-micro-database for each individual according to the values in the spending registers. Furthermore plausibility-checks are carried out in the data processing. In the quality assessment a comparison of the spending registers to an external source (micro-census) is carried out and the trustworthiness of the final data is evaluated.There are no particular reasons for data unreliability for this topic.The data treatment is regulated in the legal basis for the register-based census: BGBl. I Nr. 33/2006.The data are compiled from various spending-registers that provide their information. To ensure data privacy protection, all microdata are pseudonymised. A branch-specific personal identification number for official statistics (bPIN OS) is required before delivering the data to Statistics Austria. Each individual has a unique number. The administrative units get an encrypted version of these bPIN-OS which has to be linked to the data that is sent to Statistics Austria. Hence, only Statistics Austria is able to decode the bPIN-OS and to link the individuals.

The SDC method chosen for the Austrian census is Record Swapping. Swapping minimises the risk of disclosure, preserves the additivity and consistency of output tables, is easy to implement and to understand, and it is possible to conduct special analyses outside the Census Hub without changing the results.
