### Methodology
Woonbase is set up to ask the question "Who lives where with whom?" to answer.
To this end, three types of files have been set up per year: a key file, attribute files and population files.
The key file is a bus file for one year, in which the links between a person, a household and an object are recorded. Every time something changes in the link between the three entities, a new record is created.
The attribute files include the attributes of an entity on both 1 January and 31 December for each record.
In the population files, the characteristics of the different entities are combined on 1 January and 31 December according to the links in the key file.
In this way, the question "Who lives where with whom?" be answered in a consistent manner from both individuals, households, and objects.
### Population
Per record, a person with characteristics on both January 1 and December 31.
