- ONS mid-year resident-population estimates by Local Authority × 5-year age band × sex, harvested keylessly from Nomis. This is RESIDENT population at Local-Authority grain — notthe GP-registered list and not practice-keyed. A geography's figure is the sum over the DISTINCT set of Local Authorities its practices sit in (the postcode-derived
localAuthorityCodeon each practice): England is every LA, an ICB is its constituent LAs, a borough is one LA. Use it for the age/sex mix the registered list cannot show — never as a registered denominator.
