1  The number of persons by type of family may diverge minimally from the number of resident persons (population figures). This is due to a mismatch between family and residence information in the register data.
2  Registered partnerships included.
3  Other type of family includes persons without partners (adults and children), lone mothers and fathers who live with their children, cohabiting persons without children, and cohabiting persons with stepchildren only.
