Notes:
Data corresponding to place of residence.
Law 23/2010, of July 22, on the creation of the area of Penedès, divides Catalonia into eight territorial planning areas. This change implies that the data for the Metropolitan Area, Central Counties and Camp de Tarragona are not directly comparable with previous years.

Last update: November 15, 2012.

Methodological note

Definition of concepts

Natural population change
Increase or decrease in the population, which is obtained from the difference between births and deaths, for a specific period and territorial region.

Methodological aspects

The source for the natural population movement is declarations made in the Civil Register at the moment of registering a birth or death, when a statistical report of the event is provided.

Until 2011, the data refers to the registrations made in Catalonia of people who reside there. From 2012 onwards, it includes all events involving residents in Catalonia who have been registered in other autonomous communities.

The territorial breakdown is made by places of residence: for births, that of the mother; for deaths, that of the deceased.
