The data presented here reflect changes made to population estimates from 2009 to 2010 in re-basing the data to be consistent with the results of the 2011 Census (see weblinks).Mid-2012 to mid-2016 subnational population estimates for England and Wales were revised on the 22 March 2018, following methodological improvements (see weblinks).
From 1st April 2019 health service provision for residents of Bridgend local authority moved from Abertawe Bro Morgannwg to Cwm Taf. For more information see the joint statement from Cwm Taf and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Boards (see weblinks). The health board names have changed with Cwm Taf University Health Board becoming Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board becoming Swansea Bay University Health Board. A link to the statement from the minister for health and social service can be found in the weblinks section.
To help with analysis of the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on the UK population, the ONS has published a provisional set of population estimates for mid-2019. This report is by necessity a subset of the information they regularly publish in June, focusing primarily on the size, age structure and geography of the UK population.
Information of the components (drivers) of population change in each local area will be published in June.
Any changes to the population estimates between now and June are likely to be minor, but it is possible that the estimates released in June 2020 will differ slightly from those published here.
