The printed report is supplemented by similar analyses for a range of geographical units including:-

Northern Ireland Level (released 20.03.03)

Health & Social Services Board Level (released 16.04.03),

Education and Library Board Level (released 16.04.03),

Parliamentary Constituency Level (released 16.04.03),

NUTS Level III Regions (released 16.04.03),

Local Government District Level (LGD Level released 16.04.03)

Electoral Ward Level (Ward Level released 23.07.03).

Although the majority of tables will be available at both Local Government District and Electoral Ward levels, some will be restricted to Local Government District or Northern Ireland level due to the large number of cells and the resultant small numbers at lower geographical levels and the need to preserve the confidentiality and utility of the data.

Tables available at District Council Level are also available for Health & Social Services Boards, Education & Library Boards, NUTS Level 3 Regions and Parliamentary Constituencies.  A complete list showing the availability of each of the tables at the lower geographical levels is available in PDF format. 

Tables numbered S001 to S068 are tables with a common UK format and can be obtained for other parts of the UK.  Tables numbered S301 to S375 are either NI specific tables or tables with a format unique to NI.  Similar tables may be available for other parts of the UK, but it is unlikely that they will be directly comparable.  Gaps in the numbering S001 to S068 series relate to tables which are available for England, Scotland and Wales but not for Northern Ireland.  Table S118 is available for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
