Current Position
● Produced mid-2001 and mid-2002 CAS ward estimates– quinary age and sex
● Published as experimental statistics– April 2005
● User consultation– 12 weeks
● Available on Neighbourhood Statistics this week
Coverage Dataset 0-14 15-64 65+ Child Benefit Older Persons Dataset Patient Registers
Eg to derive ratios for 0-4 year olds by sex, we create dataset specific ratios:
Eg CB ratio = Year 2 dataset count
Year 1 dataset count
0-4 ratio = Child Benefit ratio + Patient Register ratio

Ratio Change method
Base population
Year 1SP x ratioSP
Year 2
Population
2nd period
Ratio Change method
Constrain to LA MYEs less SP
Data Sources - Child Benefit
● Now provided by Inland Revenue– previously provided by DWP
● Receive counts for 0-4’s, 5-9’s & 10-14’s by sex
● Data provided for Lower Layer SOAs
● Good coverage of children 0-14 – undercount (mid-2003) compared to MYEs 1.7%
● Data consistent over time – overall counts– geographically
Data Sources - Older Persons Dataset
● Provided by DWP
● Comprises a number of benefit databases– eg State Pension, Widows Benefit & Winter Fuel
Allowance
● Receive counts by quinary age group & sex– 65-69, 70-74, 75-79 & 80+
● Data provided for Lower Layer SOAs
● Good coverage of elderly population– undercount (mid-2003) compared to MYEs 1.3%
● Data consistent over time & geographically
Data Sources - Patient Registers
● Used by ONS to calculate internal migration
● Get postcode counts by single year of age & sex– can easily aggregate to different geographies
● Issue of list inflation– mid-2004 PR counts > 2004 MYEs by 2.9m (5.4%)
● Data not always consistent over time– problems in student areas– problems caused by list cleaning

User Consultation
● 12-week period of consultation
● 28 responses received– Govt. depts/agencies 2
– Regional Health Observatories 1– Local Government
• County Councils 6• District Councils 3• Joint Strategy Units & GLA 3• London Boroughs/Unitaries 13
● 21 organisations completed the response form
User Consultation
● Requirement for alternative age groupings– 13-19, 16-19 & 18-19
● Quality of the estimates:– Excellent 1 6%– Good 13 72%– Fair 2 11%– Poor 2 11%
● Clear requirement for ward estimates– CAS Wards 3 15%– Standard Table Wards 0– Statistical Wards 17 85%
User Consultation
● Favourable reaction to the estimates
● Gives some early indication of Ratio Change suitability
However● Base population issue identified in wards with
large Armed Forces presence – methodological solution found
● Base population distribution - evidence in 2 LAs of ward overestimation and underestimation– further investigation required
Geography Considerations

Middle Layer SOA Estimates
Statistical Ward Estimates
MSOA estimates less SP constrained to Patient Register postcode counts
Patient Register MSOA constrained counts aggregated to Statistical Wards
Statistical Wards overlaid onto Patient Register postcodes
Add back in special population
Remove special populationGeography Considerations – SOAs & Wards
Publication Plans
● Mid-2001, mid-2002 & mid-2003 SOA estimates– Lower Layers by broad age group & sex– Middle Layers by quinary age group & sex
– publication provisionally planned for early 2006
● Mid-2003 Statistical Ward estimates– only if suitable methodology can be found– problematic because base population may be needed– lack of time series when wards change– if recasting methodology suitable, publish in 2006
Work Plans
● Consider methodological enhancements for 3 shortlisted methods– Apportionment
– Cohort component
– Ratio Change
● Evaluate estimates for mid-2002, mid-2003 & mid-2004 from all 3 shortlisted methods
● Following evaluation identify a preferred method
● Consider transition from Experimental Statistics to National Statistics
