Postcode sectors can also be one of ten digits: 0 to 9, though in some postcode areas the 0 is the beginning of the sequence (for example in LE), while in other areas it is the end of the sequence (ie. 10, as in CV).
Demographic statistics are measures of the characteristics of, or changes to, a population. Records of births, deaths, marriages, immigration and emigration and a regular census of population provide information that is key to making sound decisions about national policy. [1] [2] A useful summary of such data is the population pyramid. It ...
The NUTS system favors existing administrative units, with one or more assigned to each NUTS level. Specific guidelines are based in population, leaving little or no role for other types of variables such as area, distance, topography, levels of jurisdiction or history, which can only be considered in (unspecified) types of special cases.
