Please note revised population estimates for 2002-2010 have been released by ONS (30/04/13). These supersede previous estimates. The changes are as a result of 2011 Census results.
It is ONS policy to publish estimates rounded to at least the nearest hundred persons. Therefore, some columns and rows will not sum due to rounding.
