Estimated resident population by ethnic group, broad age group and sex for mid-2006 has been loaded in the Reports section of LSR-Online.

The data is extracted from the Office for National Statistics experimental Population Estimates by Ethnic Group for local authority districts in England for 2006. They supersede the estimates previously published. The estimates are consistent with the Mid-Year Population Estimates.

The data will be loaded into the Statistics section of LSR-Online, for mapping purposes, in due course.

Thanks to all who attended the LSR-Online user group meeting on the 28th of February, and a double thank you to all who completed the LSRO user satisfaction survey on the day. An electronic version of this questionnaire is now circulated and users are urged to fill it in so as to baseline the performance of the LSR website and help us to improve our ongoing services.

If for whatever reason you have not been emailed a copy of the questionnaire then please request on by emailing the website manager at admin@lsr-online.org

Thanks again
