2. Average No. of Persons in each House at Census 1891, 5.9.

*For statistical purposes the Registrar-General estimates the population to the middle of the year on the basis of the rate
of increase ruling between the two preceding Census periods. The estimate of population may be checked by the known number
of inhabited houses, and by the average number of inmates per house, as ascertained at the preceding Census.
