Implications

• 2001 Census data released using new wards
• Most existing datasets use 1998 wards
• i.e. IMD Camp Hill ¹ 2001 Census Camp Hill
• No guarantee that 2001 Census data will be
  rebased using 1991 wards to allow comparison
• Comparing ward data
• Change over time e.g. unemployment
• Different datasets e.g. IMD and population
• Bids for funding
