(ii) New Territories 'Domestic Units' and 'Persons Accommodated' figures in-
clude those for Tsuen Wan District.
A. Population figures include officers living in barrack type accommodation (11,300 in the urban areas, 4,000 in the New Territories) but this type of accommodation is not in- cluded in the domestic unit figure.
B. Although the number of domestic units completed is smaller than that for 1968-9 the large increases in population are mainly due to the filling of units handed over after the end of the previous year.
C. The Urban and New Territories residual population figures have been combined in the
table due to the difficulty in reconciling population estimates for the New Territories. D. Figures are based on number of families not on numbers of structures. The term squatter
means the occupant of an unlawful structure.
E. Permittees are occupants of Crown Land in the New Territories who hold the land on permits which may be cancelled at one month's notice. Such permits are usually cancelled only when an area is due for development; permittees in areas not due for development often erect buildings of a more substantial character. Occupants of private agricultural land for which Modification of Tenancy permits have been granted to allow the erection of temporary structures are also classified as permittees. The increase in permittees in the New Territories is mainly due to the regularisation of temporary structures during the year.
The 1966 By-census marine population figure (as adjusted) has been retained as an accurate count has not been undertaken since that time.
F.
G.
Figures are derived from the deliberations of the Working Party on Half Yearly Popula- tion Estimates.
