Note: Impact of updated mid-year population estimates on Fingertips indicators
ONS have released 2021 mid-year population estimates, based on the results of the 2021 Census. They are not comparable with estimates for previous years. Rebased estimates for 2012 to 2020 will be published in due course. Indicators which use mid-year population estimates as their denominators are affected by this change. Where an indicator has been updated to 2021, the non-comparable historical data are not available through Fingertips or in the API, but are made available in csv format through a link in the indicator metadata. Comparable back series data will be added once the rebased populations are available.

February 2022
The Related conditions domain has been updated with a new indicator for the rate of people Killed and seriously injured (KSI) casualties on England's roads. This indicator is a revision of an earlier indicator which reported the rate of KSI events within the local population. The denominator is now the estimate of vehicle miles in the local area - this is preferred because KSI events are expected to be more closely correlated with local traffic than population size. This change particularly impacts Local Authorities with small resident populations but high traffic volumes, such as rural areas with major roads passing through. For these areas, rates would be expected to be reduced in these cases under the new measure.
