The 49 tables present information on the main characteristics of spatial distribution of the population, sex and age structure, migration, population speaking indigenous languages, religion, literacy, school attendance and educational status, marital status, fertility and mortality, economic characteristics of the population, and the most important characteristics of housing and households. An introductory section discusses methodological aspects including planning, development of the questionnaire, cartography, training, operational structure, data processing, and communication of results. The reasons for collecting information on each of the included topics are then explained.
