The statistical information presented for each of the detailed outcomes is sourced from the Community Planning Outcome Profiling tool (CPOP). Slight anomalies may exist as
intermediary data zones do not match identically the geographic nature of electoral wards.
In such cases, the statistical information cannot be disaggregated further to allow the information to be presented differently. The statistical information may therefore include
areas which are out with the Ward boundary.
