Title	What is the referent point for population forecast? Is the reference point same for household forecast?
Date	2015-12-15
The reference points for population forecast and household forecast are both mid-point of each year ― July 1. In the past, reference point for household forecast was November 1, the same as the Population and Housing Census, but in order to ensure comparability with future population forecast and representativeness of yearly data, we adjusted reference point to mid-year ― July 1.
