^aBelgium: population data for the whole country (Flanders and Wallonia)
^b Bold numbers represent ≤ 10%-point or less difference between population and response. Out of 93 cells, 42 are within the 10%-point band. Five countries have all cells within the 10%-point band; 7 countries have 2 cells within the 10%-point band; 16 countries have 1 cell within the 10%-point band; and 3 countries have no cells within the 10%-point band
