Since August 2000, the "resident population" approach has been adopted in place of the "extended de facto" approach for compiling Hong Kong population figures. Revised population figures backdated to 1996 have been compiled. In this table, population figures and population-related figures are compiled based on the new approach. Notwithstanding the change, they are broadly comparable with those of earlier years.
