The national series before 2025 is calculated from non-overlapping SCB age/sex cells; from 2025 published national totals are used. CKM changes the disclosure-control method in 2025. The municipal breakdown for years before 2025 is calculated in proportion to the national trend and is therefore derived, not directly published.
