FAQ: Working with our Statistical Data

These FAQs cover using and understanding our statistical data. See also the "How to use the statistical atlas" tab when you go into a specific rate page within the Statistical Atlas part of the site.

  • Q: Why does the Statistical atlas part of the site usually show me modern data first?
  • Q: The population of my parish is shown as rising steadily over several censuses but then suddenly falls. Was this because they all died in an epidemic?
  • Q: Your system has given me trends from 1801 for the local authority I live in, but I know it was only created in 1996 (or 1974, or 1965). How can you do this?
  • Can I get copies of the statistical data?
