Statistical unit
Unit

Entity for which information is sought and for which statistics are ultimately compiled.

The statistical unit is the object of a statistical survey and the bearer of statistical characteristics.

Statistical units can also be categorised into basic statistical units, i.e. those for which data are collected (also known as observation units), and derived statistical units, i.e. those which are constructed during the statistical production process (also known as analytical units). A basic statistical unit is the most detailed level to which the obtained characteristics can be attached.

Statistical units for economic statistics comprise the enterprise, enterprise group, kind-of-activity unit (KAU), local unit, establishment, homogeneous unit of production, etc. In other statistical domains, statistical units can include persons, households, geographical areas, events etc.
