The tables in this report are based on the adjusted data. The adjustments were

and vital statistics for the intercensal period. This was supplemented in part by
findings of the Post Enumeration Survey conducted immediately following the main
enumeration.

Adjustment factors based on age and sex for each parish have been applied to the
