Mid Year Estimate update

The recent mid-year population estimates released by the ONS were a big data update, as population figures are used as denominators in many of the calculations. For more detail, such as which indicators were updated, see our blog post.

Mid Year Estimate Update in Community Insight

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) recently released the 2016 Output Area level mid-year population estimates for England and Wales and Scotland.

As well as updating the population indicators themselves, this data update will affect the majority of indicators in Local Insight, as population figures are used as denominators in many of the calculations. To see these updates reflected in the reports you will need to update your reports individually.
