  • PLACE OF USUAL RESIDENCE:  Place in which a person normally spends the daily period of rest (regardless of temporary absences for purposes of leisure, holiday, visits to friends and relatives, business, medical treatment, or others) and where the person lives or intends to live for the most part of the year, taking the last 12 months as reference.
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  The length of time for which data are collected, e.g. a specific day, month or year.
  • POTENTIAL SUSTAINABILITY INDEX:  Index that measures the relation between working-age population and elderly population, usually represented by the quotient between the number of people aged between 15 and 64 years and the number of people aged 65 and over.
  • RESIDENT POPULATION:  Set of persons who, regardless of being present or absent in a given housing unit at the moment of observation, have lived in the place of their usual residence for a continuous period of 12 months prior to the moment of observation, or have arrived to the place of their usual residence during the period of 12 months prior to the moment of observation, with the purpose of living there for a year, at least.
Formule PSR=[(P(15, 64)/ P(65, +)]*10^n

P(15, 64)=Resident population aged between 15 and 64 years old.
P(65, +)=Resident population with 65 and more years old.
