Usual residents of the containing MSOA; this is local area context, not the population of the named settlement.. Boundary geography: 1 April 2022 (E02006171).
2011 and 2021 census counts harmonised by ONS to the same 1 April 2022 geography. Location matched to ONS 2021 MSOA polygons (full resolution, coastline clipped, V7). ONS exact-fit lookup marks this MSOA unchanged from 2011 (U); historical estimates use that same footprint.
1971–2011: Paul Norman harmonised historical estimates on 2011 MSOAs, rounded to whole residents (1971–1991 are modelled). 2021: ONS census count. The historical 2011 total can differ slightly from the ONS change-over-time 2011 total because of methodology and statistical disclosure controls. These are area estimates, not settlement totals.
