Each of these is measured from the data rather than written down, so it stays true as the data changes.
The producer publishes an interval for this measure but does not document its basis. It is shown as a range and never as precision.
247 of 1453 areas are withheld by the producer. Most commonly: Estimate and confidence interval not available since the group sample size is zero or disclosive (0-2)
Harvested from ONS, not written by us. We link rather than copy: the methodology belongs on their page, where it stays current.
