Population of the City of Brussels from 1830 to the present day

Totalpopulation figures for the City of Brussels (various official sources, seetable)Data arederived from the National Register. The official population figures do not takeinto account the waiting register of asylum seekers, which comprises peoplewith an ongoing asylum application (Law of 24 May 1994 establishing a waitingregister for foreigners who declare themselves refugees or who ask to berecognised as refugees). However, the figures published by Eurostat contain anestimate of people entered in the waiting register.A limitednumber of registrations in the National Register are late or incorrect.Therefore, the observed population growth (difference between the population on1 January 2023 and 1 January 2022) is not 100% in line with the balanceobtained based on births, deaths and migrations. The statistical adjustmentthis year amounts to -208 units at Belgian level. This is an indication thatthe data are of high quality.

布鲁塞尔市总人口数据（源自多种官方来源，详见表格）由国民登记处提供。官方公布的人口数据未将寻求庇护者等待登记册中的人群考虑在内，该登记册包括正在进行庇护申请的人员（1994年5月24日颁布的关于为自称难民或要求被认定为难民的外国人设立等待登记册的法律）。然而，由欧盟统计局发布的数据包含了等待登记册中人员数量的估算。国民登记册中存在少数登记信息延迟或错误的情况。因此，观察到的人口增长（2023年1月1日与2022年1月1日人口之差）与基于出生、死亡和迁移计算出的平衡数不完全一致。今年的统计调整量达到比利时层面的-208单位，这表明数据质量极高。
