Social and demographic characteristics of the resident population from the RPHC4 (2012) "Final Results - Publication Tables" workbook (Final Results - Publication tables.xls, 624 KB, legacy BIFF8 -- xlrd), a direct static download from the NISR portal. This 65-sheet workbook is the richest single file in the RPHC4 archive; this dataset extracts three tables not reproduced in any other PHC dataset: religious affiliation by area and sex (Table 1.5), household relationship to the household head by area and sex (Table 4.1), and parental survivorship ("orphanhood") for children aged 0-17 by sex and five-year age group (Table 1.6). No RPHC5 (2022) equivalent of this workbook was published, so this dataset is a 2012-only snapshot.
