Administrative Population Edits and Notes:
(1) For the following units, point coordinates were found, and their populations added to the spatial unit in which they fall: ? Novy Svet ? Mala Maca ? Bohunice ? Badice ? Dolne Lefantovce ? Stitare ? Zitavany (2) For two other units Hlboke nad Vahom and Potonske Luky, populations were allocated proportionally among all ZUJ within the appropriate Okres. (3) The 2001 OkresMunicipality (administrative level 2) data are aggregated to spatially match 1997 Okres boundaries in order to calculate the Okres growth rates. Then Okres growth rate from 1997 to 2001 used to project 2001 UTJ level population to target years. (4) A 5% rate cap was applied to the following Okres: Levice, Nitra, Bytca, Liptovsky Mikulas, Namestovo, Turcianske Teplice, Zilina, Velky Krtis, Zvolen, and Sabinov.
