Small Area Population Estimates

As of 30th April 2013:
The mid-2001 to mid-2011 population estimates at the Northern Ireland level have now been revised to take into account the 2011 Census results. These Northern Ireland level estimates are available here.
Sub-national population estimates are currently still based on the 2001 Census.
Revised mid-2001 to mid-2011 population estimates at sub-national level (Local Government District (LGD), NUTSIII areas, Health Trusts (HSCT), Health Boards (HSSB) and Education & Library Boards (ELB)) are planned for June/July 2013.

Revised Small Area Population Estimates for the period 2001-2010, as well as new estimates for both mid-2011 and mid-2012, are planned for Winter 2013/14.

Small area population estimates relate to mid-2010 and are available for Super Output Areas, Output Areas, Electoral Wards, District Electoral Areas, Neighbourhood Renewal Areas and Settlements.

Small Areas (SAs) have been introduced in Northern Ireland after the 2011 The majority (83%) of 2011 SAs have been kept identical to the 2001 COAs to ensure comparability over time, however in some cases this was not possible. More information on this can be found here

SAs can be merged to generate the 2011 Super Output Areas (SOAs). Where possible, the 2011 SOAs have been kept identical to the 2001 SOAs. However, six of the 2001 SOAs were affected. For more information, please find further details and the background paper on this issue here

2011 Census Key Statistics for Assembly Area, Ward, Super Output Area and Small Areas were published at 9:30am on 30 January 2013. All of the published 2011 Census results can be found on the NINIS Census Statistics page here

An interactive map detailing the population change from 2001 to 2010, by Super Output Area, is available here
