Population Edits and Notes: The last Angolan census was carried out in 1970. All population data published in the Statistical Yearbooks and other publications (e.g., the Economist's Intelligence Unit Report) are estimates that were produced by the National Statistics Institute, in 1987, based on the 1970 data. Due to civil war, considerable displacement of people has taken place since the 1970 census. Thus, population figures should be interpreted with caution. The base year population use here was 1990 projected population from the INE publication in 1987 and were extrapolated to 1995 and 2000 using growth rates derived from United Nations national level estimates and projections. |
