A report entitled "Population and Household Statistics Analysed by District Council District 2006", published by the Census and Statistics Department (C&SD), is now available for sale.
The report contains statistics on a broad range of demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the population in 2006 at the District Council district level. Population characteristics like age, sex and marital status, and household characteristics like household size, household income, type and tenure of accommodation are included.
The statistics in the report are mainly based on data collected in the General Household Survey during January to December 2006, covering the land-based non-institutional population of Hong Kong (which constitutes some 99% of the Hong Kong Resident Population). Some summary statistics published in the report are shown in Table 1 and Table 2 attached. A map-based presentation of those findings is also available on the C&SD's website (http://www.censtatd.gov.hk/hong_kong_statistics/statistics_on_map).
