Administrative Population Edits and Notes:
The Maritime Area population was redistributed equally among the other three administrative units (632.66667 people to each unit in 2001; 943.66667people to each unit in 1991). All three have coastal areas. National level population growth rates (administrative level 0) were applied to the peninsula/island (administrative level 1) units for extrapolation to the target years of 1990, 1995, and 2000.
