Notes: 1. The mid-2000 population estimates used in the 2002/03 settlement were based on the 1991 Census. 2. Settlements for 2003–04 to 2006–07 have used population figures derived from the 2001 Census. 3. Revised population estimates for 2001 and 2002 published by the ONS have been reflected in Amending Reports by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister. 4. In the 2006–07 Settlement, population projections for 2006 will be used for the dominant data drivers of population as this allows the settlement to be more forward looking. The mid-2004 population estimates have also been used but within wider indicators used in the top-up formulae. Source: Office for National Statistics (ONS)
