Statement

https://www.stat.ee/sites/default/files/2022-06/Registrip%C3%B5hise%20loenduse%20metoodika%20raport_EN.pdf Description of the 2021 register-based census methodology

Population Census website: https://rahvaloendus.ee/en Data are collected through administrative data sources.

Administrative data are received via X-Road, an FTP-server and by (encrypted) e-mail.Arithmetic and qualitative controls are used in the validation process, including comparison with the data of previous periods and other surveys.Good accuracy, data are compiled through administrative sources.

Spatial data is available at the address level.

The definition of ‘usual residence’ of Article 2(d) of Regulation (EC) No 763/2008 has been applied.The dissemination of data collected for the purpose of producing official statistics is guided by the requirements provided for in § 32, § 34, § 35, § 38 of the https://www.riigiteataja.ee/en/eli/506012015002/consolide Official Statistics Act.

The principles for treatment of confidential data can be found https://www.stat.ee/en/statistics-estonia/data-protection-privacy-policy here.Adjusted cell key (additive random noise) methodology was applied to the output to protect the confidentiality of the data.

The aim of applying the cell key method to the grid data was to eliminate grids where the total population was lower than three. Therefore, the population from such grids (with a population <3) was scattered to the neighboring cells where the total population count was higher.In addition, controlled noise is added to each grid to allow more detail in the output than would otherwise be possible with traditional confidentiality methods such as cell suppression.

Due to added noise, the sum of grids in different breakdowns may not coincide with the total, yet the differences are moderate, usually by a few units.

The process for ensuring the confidentiality of census outputs is also explained here: https://rahvaloendus.ee/en/census-2021/methodology-and-quality/ensuring-the-confidentiality-of-statistical-outputs
