Administrative Population Edits and Notes:
Administrative level 1 (Island) data were available from 1990-2001, with the exception of Curacao where administrative level 2 (Geozone) data are available for 2001. The population for all units were extrapolated based on the Island-level growth rates between 1990 and 2001.
Administrative Spatial Edits and Notes:
The Geozone (administrative level 2) boundary for the Island of Curacao was digitized from a paper map from the Central Bureau of Statistics, Netherland Antilles.
