About the statistical profiles
All the statistical information has been sourced from various government departments and other authorities:
- the area, population and ethnic breakdown figures (all from the 2001 Census with 2009 mid-year population estimates* revised by ONS).
- the figures on school and pupil numbers (DfE, Pupils and their characteristics, January 2010 final).
- unemployment statistics (ONS benefit claimant count from ONS Nomis official labour market statistics, June 2009 – May 2010). Please note this will not include those out of paid employment but not claiming Job Seekers Allowance.
- housing tenure statistics (DCLG, Number of dwellings by tenure and district, England 2008/09, provisional).
- The council's band D 2010/11 council tax figure is as reported by the DCLG.
- Budget is the net budget requirement as recorded by the DCLG. The budget requirement is including special expenses but excluding local council precepts.
*London Councils shares the reservations held by many of the capital's councils about the accuracy of the ONS's population figures. Find out more at: www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/localgovernmentfinance/ourprojects/project1.htm
