Detail of release

Small population tables provide census data for some of the key characteristics of people in specific small population groups - for example individuals of an ethnic group, a country of birth, a religion or a national identity - in which the small size of the total population in that group means confidentiality constraints limit the release of more detailed standard statistics.

These small population data are produced only for geographic areas in which the small population being counted is exceeds a threshold or 100 or 200. Only the areas in which the population exceeds these thresholds are included in each table. This means that all tables do not contain the same geographic areas, because those exceeding the threshold will vary depending on the small population being counted.
