Age

Population figures relate to 30 June of the year shown and ages relate to age last birthday.

Presentation and use of results

Although the data are tabulated in units, this does not imply accuracy to that level. They are supplied in this way for the convenience of users wishing to aggregate the data to area/age/sex groupings of their choice without encountering rounding problems. Users are advised to exercise caution when using the data at a highly disaggregated level. Appendix E gives some further guidance on the uses and limitations of projections.
