Subsequent national censuses indicated that the rate of increase of the number of households in 1978/1988 and 1988/2002 was similar and amounted to ca. 2%. Between the last two censuses, the deficit increased to nearly 15% of the existing stock, including less than 14% in tows and more than 15% in rural areas.
