Statement

A general methodology report on the 2021 Census of Population will be available on CYSTAT's web portal.The geographic location of each housing unit was captured through the use of the pre-installed Blaise software and the GPS function available on the tablets, which were used by the enumerators. The enumeration of all the housing units was achieved through field enumeration. The traditional method of field enumeration was used to cover approximately 80% of the population, while for the remaining 20%, administrative sources were mainly used. Following the collection of location and population data, aggregation methods were employed in order to compile the total population figures at the 1km2 grid level.

Following the data collection, the final data validation was comprised of various consistency checks carried out regarding the location of all the housing units. In many cases, housing units located on streets on the border of two neighbouring enumeration blocks might appear to be located in the neighbouring enumeration block instead of the one they truly belong to, but through these checks it was ensured that the location was recorded with the highest possible accuracy in the nearest enumeration block. Furthermore, as regards the population recorded (from field enumeration and administrative sources) validation checks were performed, so as to ensure the quality of the data collected.None of the figures provided concerning the total population per grid cell are considered unreliable. ;

Confidentiality - Regulation (EU) 2017/712 Art 4 and 5

Official statistics are released in accordance with all confidentiality provisions of the following:

• National Official Statistics Law No. 25(I) of 2021 (especially Article 16 on statistical confidentiality). https://www.cystat.gov.cy/en/StaticPage?id=1074

• Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2009 on European statistics and its later amendments (especially Chapter 5 on statistical confidentiality). http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:02009R0223-20150608&qid=1504858409240&from=EN

• European Statistics Code of Practice (especially Principle 5 on statistical confidentiality). http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-manuals-and-guidelines/-/KS-32-11-955

• Guidelines for the Protection of Confidential Data. https://www.cystat.gov.cy/en/StaticPage?id=1066Confidentiality - Regulation (EU) 2017/712 Art 4 and 5

The treatment of confidential data is regulated by CYSTAT's Code of Practice for the Collection, Publication and Storage of Statistical Data ( https://www.cystat.gov.cy/en/StaticPage?id=1066). Furthermore, according to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1799, Article 6, paragraph 2(a), "data items on total population shall not be reported as confidential". To that end, CYSTAT has implemented one of the proposed Statistical Disclosure Control methods, namely the Cell Key Method, thus providing for the non-disclosure of small population values in grid cells.
