Population Edits and Notes: The Census population values used are based on "Usually resident population." Ward (administrative level 2) population data for 2001 are not available. Thus, a District (administrative level 1) growth rate between 1991 and 2001 was used to extrapolate the Ward (administrative level 2) population to target years. |
