They comprise between 400 and 1,200 households and have a usually resident population between 1,000 and 3,000 persons.Using Census 2021 data, some changes were made to 2011 LSOAs as a result of population and household changes since 2011. New 2021 LSOAs were created by merging or splitting 2011 LSOAs to ensure that population and household thresholds were met.NoteThe map view is limited to 1,000 datapoints and if unfiltered may not show all points.Contains both Ordnance Survey and ONS Intellectual Property Rights.TopoJSON Shapefile for Power BIOn the Export tab you will find a file under the Alternative exports.
