2 CES Rec. (1) Chapter V. POPULATION BASES  The ‘place of usual residence’ is the geographic place where the enumerated person usually spends their daily rest, assessed over a defined period of time including the census reference time p.397  The population base to be used for international comparisons purposes is the ‘usually resident population’. The ‘usually resident population’ of a country is composed of those persons who have their place of usual residence in the country at the census reference time and have lived, or intend to live, there for a continuous period of time of at least 12 months. A ‘continuous period of time’ means that absences (from the country of usual residence) whose durations are shorter than 12 months do not affect the country of usual residence. The same criteria apply for any relevant territorial division (being the place of usual residence) within the country p.398
