Note:
1. The data in this bulletin are preliminary statistics.
2. The absolute figures of the GDP and the added value of various industries in Hunan Province are calculated at current prices, and the growth rate is calculated at comparable prices.
3. The permanent population refers to the population whose household registration is in the local area and has lived there for more than half a year, the population who lives in the local area and whose household registration is not in the local area but has left the household registration for more than half a year, and the population who lives in the local area and whose household registration is to be determined. The calculation formula is: resident population = registered population-population whose household registration is local but has left the household registration place for more than half a year+population who lives locally but has left the household registration place for more than half a year+population who lives locally and has an undetermined household registration place. The number of permanent residents in 2007 used in this bulletin is inferred from this year’s population sampling survey.
4. The data of per capita living area of urban residents comes from the Provincial Construction Department.
