UK Population Estimates for Ages 90+ by Gender and Single Year

Population estimates for the very elderly, including centenarians, are provided by the UK's Office for National Statistics. The data includes breakdowns by gender, single year of age from 90 to 104, and aggregated groups for ages 90-99, 100+, and 105+. This dataset was last updated on July 8, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling population aging trends based on single-year age and gender breakdowns.
• Projecting demand for elderly care services based on the estimated number of centenarians.
• Analyzing gender disparities in longevity within the very elderly population.
• Benchmarking regional demographic estimates for England & Wales against UK-wide figures.

Strengths

• Data is designated as 'National Statistics', indicating official status and quality assurance.
• Provides granular single-year age estimates for the 90-104 age range, which is uncommon.
• Includes specific estimates for the centenarian (100+) and supercentenarian (105+) populations.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• The description does not specify the exact time period the estimates cover.
