Method and limitations
Method and limitations
No missing value is imputed. Where colour classes are used, their breaks and colours come from the catalogue; source-declared suppression remains missing.
The area mean gives every published geographic area equal weight. It is not weighted by population, exposure or area size.
Census 2021 is a snapshot on 1 January 2021, not an annual flow.
