19 September 2013

Revision to 2011 boundaries and index due to an anomaly in the 2011 Census Output Area (OA) codes published on 15 August 2013 and removed the datasets from the NRS/GROS website (on 27 August). The anomaly meant that whilst all 2011 Census OA codes were unique, they did not always run in sequential order by council area. This caused users additional work and we decided to replace the current set of 2011 OA codes with new ones that would run sequentially within each council area.
