Number of Population in Counties in Estonia, 1919-1939

The data table LiDA_HistatData_0246_Data_0001_5v is computed by interpolating and extrapolating data published in Estonian statistical publications. The method of interpolation and extrapolation was used because the full data on the population of Estonia by county in statistical publications are available only from the Estonian population censuses conducted in 1922-12-28 and 1934-03-01.

The data table LiDA_HistatData_0246_Data_0002_v4 of the mid-year population data is computed by interpolated and extrapolated population data (for a more detailed description, see metadata Social Science and Humanities Metadata field Notes below). Mid-year population data is arithmetic mean of the population of two consecutive years (data of beginning or end of the year). The aim of such an computation was to have standardized data for the mid-year population data.
