title: Linking 1991 population statistics to the 1998 local government geography of Great Britain.
abstract: This article describes how 1991 population statistics and other data based on the 1991 Census areas can be produced for the 1998 local authority geography of Great Britain. Since 1991 a large number of boundary changes have taken place rendering comparisons of population data before and after the changes problematic. Re-basing 1991 statistics on the current set of boundaries allows real demographic change over the period since 1991 to be measured. The article focuses on two sets of population statistics: 1991 Census data and mid-1991 estimates.
