Please Note: The figures shown in the tables undergo what is termed 'random rounding' - which means all estimates are randomly rounded up or down to a multiple of 5, and in some cases 10. This technique does not add significant error to the data. This means that some cells that say '0', may not actually mean zero people, but could have been rounded downwards, or have too few data to display.
