Comparability — General

In the 1980 census, district of last residence was only asked of people born in Saint Lucia. Consequently, individuals born outside of Saint Lucia are characterized as unknown in this census year for MIG1_P_LC.

Where officially-defined districts have populations under 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring districts.
