Population estimates for the very elderly, including centenarians, in England and Wales. The data is broken down by gender, single year of age from 90 to 104, and aggregated age groups (90-99, 100+, 105+). It is produced by the Office for National Statistics and designated as Experimental Official Statistics.
Use Cases
- Modeling population aging trends based on single-year age and gender breakdowns.
- Planning for healthcare and social services based on centenarian population estimates.
- Analyzing gender disparities in longevity within the very elderly population.
Strengths
- Data provides granular single-year age estimates from 90 to 104, which is rare for very elderly populations.
- Includes specific breakdowns for centenarians and supercentenarians (105+).
- Produced by the national statistical office (Office for National Statistics).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
