Deaths includes all deaths where the person is resident at the date of death. Immigrants includes all people who were registered as immigrated in the population register in the year of registration. Emigrants includes all people who were registered as emigrated in the population register in the year of registration.

11. Quality management Top
11.1. Quality assurance

The register on population statistics is based on daily updates from the Danish Population Register. All occurrences on the resident population such as internal and external migration, births, deaths, marriages and divorces are registered in the Population Register. Statistics Denmark waits 30 days after a reference date before producing the population data, in order to ensure the updates from delayed registrations.
11.2. Quality management - assessment

The Population Register used for producing the statistical register on population statistics in Statistics Denmark is considered of high quality and to cover the whole registered population. Legal residents are registered on the address they live at and their place of usual residence will be the address on the reference date.
