Geographic attribution is anchored to the primary residence declared by the individual at the time of registration.
Analyzing these figures requires accounting for substantial seasonal swings linked to tourism, hospitality, and coastal economic activity. Month-on-month comparisons can reflect administrative processing backlogs rather than real economic shifts, particularly following extended holiday periods. Year-on-year comparisons offer a more stable lens for identifying structural trends by neutralizing predictable annual weather and tourism cycles.
