ID 2007: England Population Estimates for LSOA and Local Authority Districts, 2005

Population estimates for England in 2005, constructed using a combination of the 2001 Census and 2005 Mid-Year Estimates. The data is modelled and represents total residential population plus communal establishment minus prison population. It is published by the UK's Communities and Local Government department.

Use Cases

• Modeling population density and change based on the described residential and communal establishment data.
• Allocating public resources based on population estimates at the Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) level.
• Conducting demographic research for England based on the 2005 time coverage.
• Analyzing spatial population patterns based on the Local Authority District (LAD) geographies.

Strengths

• Data is modelled from authoritative sources, including the 2001 Census and 2005 Mid-Year Estimates.
• Provides geographic breakdowns at two administrative levels: Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) and Local Authority District (LAD).
• Includes a specific definition of the population count, covering residential and communal establishment populations minus prison population.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from 2005 and may not reflect current population distributions.
