  • Of 55,434 Census workers, 88.13% were main workers. Census work includes more than salaried employment.

The main profile combines the selected, non-overlapping components. A municipal-core row and its wider row including outgrowths are not added together.

Town proper, excluding outgrowths

The source also supplies a narrower town-proper record. It contains 135,744 people. This component is already inside the wider total and must not be added again.
