Project EASY ONS small area population estimates • Mid-year estimates at Local Authority and LSOA • For LSOA estimates, data sets used are: • NHS patient register • Child benefit • Older persons dataset • Special populations: • Prisoners • UK armed forces • Foreign armed forces and dependents • Constrained to Local Authority MYE • The first three data sets are used to calculate • change ratios for quinary are groups and gender • which are then applied to the previous year’s • estimate. • Key assumption is that the relationship between • these data sets and the true population remains • the same for all years at small area geographies.
Project EASY GLA 2007 round demographic projections • Mid-year estimates at Local Authority and Ward • Change analysis 2001-2006 based on ONS MYE • Future fertility rates and gender/age-specific survival rates based on ONS 2006 MYE • Main determinant of population distribution is the 2004 London Housing Capacity Study and DCLG 2004-based household projections • Inputs are: • Base population • Fertility • Mortality/survival • 2001-02 migration matrix • 2001 migration flow age structures • 2002-03, 2005-06, 2006-07 gross inflows and net flows • Development data • 2004 household representative rates
Project EASY Our criteria In order to develop useful population estimates, we adopted the following criteria: • Locally accessed data sets • Up-to-the-moment estimates • Small geographical areas (LSOA) • Can be carried out locally by analysts • Good quality data Model-based rather than counts-based Key starting point: dwelling stock by Council Tax bands
