Each of these is measured from the data rather than written down, so it stays true as the data changes.
The producer publishes an interval for this measure but does not document its basis. It is shown as a range and never as precision.
4 of 576 areas are withheld by the producer. Most commonly: Figure is unavailable as the group sample size is disclosive (0-2) or the estimate is less than 500
The producer states no release date for each period, so publication dates here are derived from the period end plus its typical lag. They are approximate and labelled as such wherever they appear.
A definition is often only clear beside its siblings.
