Limitations and Caveats

Data source scope: The 2020 figures from Table 25-19 are from the ethnic autonomous regions chapter. Aggregation scope may differ from 2010 B0113C.
2020 total discrepancy: The 2020 C02-21 national total (1,409,778,724) differs from Census Bulletin #2 (1,443,497,378). Yearbook likely excludes certain populations.
Han population not included: Analysis focuses on 55 ethnic minorities only.
Identification changes: Some population change may reflect self-identification changes rather than natural growth.
Unrecognized groups: 55 official groups don't include unrecognized groups (e.g., Chuanqing, Moso).
