Release of 31 May: Detailed information on census variables and territories


Shortly before the census results are published, the statistical offices are asked one question very often. What variables, exactly, will be published on 31 May 2013 and how far will they be broken down?

This is precisely the information provided by our new overviews of variables. You will find details of all variables relating to the population and to buildings and dwellings, their definitions, values and the individual combinations of variables to be published on 31 May.

In addition, we now offer a map showing the boundaries of municipalities, districts and Länder as at 1 January 2011 in shapefile format. It will be possible to link these maps with the census results (reference date: 9 May 2011) once they have been published on 31 May 2013. Then the census results can be analysed and further processed in Geographical Information Systems (GIS). The maps are provided as open data in accordance with the GeoNutzV (Ordinance specifying the terms of use for the provision of geo data of the Federation). Such GIS are not among the downloads we offer.
