Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council establishes a grid-based methodology for the definition of territorial typologies, based on the population distribution by 1 km2 grid cells. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1799, which established a temporary direct statistical action for the dissemination of selected topics accompanying the 2021 population and housing censuses, provides for key census outputs on a pan-European 1 km2 grid. The new legal framework should ensure the continued dissemination of georeferenced population statistics based on grids, and its extension to housing statistics.
