Methods

Socio-economic and mortality analyses were conducted at a small area-level within each city. The maps of Lisbon represent 207 Parishes or small areas.  Data from the 2001 Population and Housing Census was used to obtain the population size per Parish. 

As the population size of small areas were only available in Census data for 2001, the population figures from 2001 were multiplied by thirteen to represent the total number of years included in the study period (1995 - 2008).  The INEQ-CITIES research of Lisbon is based on these figures. 

The table below shows the estimated population size per Parish by first, second (median) and third quartiles, based on 2001 figures from the National Institute of Statistics.
