Since 2012, a logistic regression model was used, but going forward, the SoL-logit model will be applied. The methods are similar, with the main difference being that the logistic regression model is a supervised model trained on data from the Population and Housing Census 2011, whereas the SoL-logit model is unsupervised model and does not require training data.\r\nTo ensure comparability, the data for 2023 and 2024 have also been recalculated using the new method.","The population estimate published on 2 June was revised on 2 October 2025, and the usually resident population now includes foreign students."],"role":{"time":["TIME"],"geo":["AREA"],"metric":["ContentsCode"]},"id":["INDICATOR","AREA","ContentsCode","TIME"],"size":[5,128,1,15],"dimension":{"INDICATOR":{"label":"Indicator","category":{"index":{"POP_SY":0,"POP":1,"NATGROW":2,"MIGR_NET":3,"GROW":4},"label":{"POP_SY":"Population at the beginning of the year","POP":"Annual average population","NATGROW":"Natural population change","MIGR_NET":"Net migration","GROW":"Population change - total"}},"extension":{"elimination":false,"show":"value","codeLists":[]}},"AREA":{"label":"Territorial unit","category":{"index":{"LV":0,"LV00A":1,"LV006":2,"LV007":3,"LV00C":4,"LV008":5,"LV00B":6,"LV003":7,"LV009":8,"LV005":9,"LV0001000":10,"LV0002000":11,"LV0003000":12,"LV0031010":13,"LV0004000":14,"LV0005000":15,"LV0040010":16,"LV0006000":17,"LV0054010":18,"LV0007000":19,"LV0020000":20,"LV0020200":21,"LV0020210":22,"LV0020220":23,"LV0020230":24,"LV0021000":25,"LV0021200":26,"LV0022000":27,"LV0022200":28,"LV0022210":29,"LV0023000":30,"LV0023200":31,"LV0024000":32,"LV0024200":33,"LV0024210":34,"LV0025000":35,"LV0025200":36,"LV0025210":37,"LV0026000":38,"LV0026200":39,"LV0026210":40,"LV0027000":41,"LV0027200":42,"LV0027210":43,"LV0027220":44,"LV0027230":45,"LV0027240":46,"LV0028000":47,"LV0028200":48,"LV0028210":49,"LV0029000":50,"LV0029200":51,"LV0030000":52,"LV0031000":53,"LV0031200":54,"LV0031210":55,"LV0032000":56,"LV0032200":57,"LV0032210":58,"LV0033000":59,"LV0033200":60,"LV0033210":61,"LV0034000":62,"LV0034200":63,"LV0034210":64,"LV0034220":65,"LV0035000":66,"LV0035200":67,"LV0035210":68,"LV0035220":69,"LV0035230":70,"LV0035240":71,"LV0036000":72,"LV0036200":73,"LV0037000":74,"LV0037200":75,"LV0037210":76,"LV0037220":77,"LV0038001":78,"LV0038000":79,"LV0038200":80,"LV0038210":81,"LV0038220":82,"LV0039000":83,"LV0039200":84,"LV0040000":85,"LV0040200":86,"LV0040210":87,"LV0040220":88,"LV0041000":89,"LV0041200":90,"LV0042000":91,"LV0042200":92,"LV0043000":93,"LV0043200":94,"LV0044000":95,"LV0044200":96,"LV0045000":97,"LV0045200":98,"LV0046000":99,"LV0046200":100,"LV0046210":101,"LV0047000":102,"LV0047200":103,"LV0048000":104,"LV0048200":105,"LV0049000":106,"LV0049200":107,"LV0049210":108,"LV0051000":109,"LV0051200":110,"LV0051210":111,"LV0051220":112,"LV0051230":113,"LV0052000":114,"LV0052200":115,"LV0052210":116,"LV0053000":117,"LV0053200":118,"LV0054000":119,"LV0054200":120,"LV0054210":121,"LV0054220":122,"LV0054230":123,"LV0055000":124,"LV0038231":125,"LV0056000":126,"LV0056200":127},"label":{"LV":"Latvia","LV00A":"Riga statistical region (from 01.01.2024.)","LV006":"Riga statistical region (Riga) (before 01.01.2024.)
