:@Rif Winfield: the article's figures were recently changed by an IP, and these changes weren't sourced. I'd like to make sure the article follows sources. The article references the 2012 estimates from CSO's "General Population Housing and Establishment Census 2012 Final Results", but no link can take me to that 2012 report (just a 2004 one, it seems) and CSO's site is impossible to navigate. Do you have a source for those 2012 official estimates? --BurritoBazooka (talk) 13:20, 4 January 2016 (UTC) Nevermind, I found a 'yearbook' with some estimates. --BurritoBazooka (talk) 13:33, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
