Description
Whilst the Census provides the most accurate representation of demographics in a given area, Mid-Year Estimates provided by ONS use migration data to give an accurate picture of population changes on an annual basis. This dataset makes use of both the Census and Mid-Year Estimates where appropriate as listed below;
- Gender (ONS Mid-Year Estimates, 2018)
- Age (ONS Mid-Year Estimates, 2018)
- Ethnicity (Census, 2011)
- NS-Sec (Census, 2011)
Data is presented as percentages in relation to the denominator as listed above.

Commentary
Delivering behaviour change amongst underrepresented groups is not possible without a thorough understanding of an area’s demographics. The Black Country’s high levels of inactivity are, in part, a result of having a high proportion of residents who are generally less inclined to live active lifestyles.
