Data Change: Ireland subnational - Population by age - NUTS 2016
Thursday, 17 Jan 2019 13:46 ET
By Edward Chaplin
Summary
November 2018 -- For estimated annual population by age in NUTS 3 subnational areas in Ireland, the source has advanced the geographic classification from NUTS 2013 to NUTS 2016 (152 annual series 1996 to 2017, replaced from 2011).
Detail

In response, we have:

  1. Archived the predecessors (NUTS 2013) by marking metadata as "discontinued".
  2. Created one-for-one replacements (NUTS 2016).
  3. Applied standardized mnemonics to the replacements.
  4. For backwards compatibility, aliased old concepts to the replacements.
  5. Refurbished the catalog.

Dataset properties:

  • Figures: Thousands of persons (Ths. #)
  • Geo coverage: All 8 NUTS 3 areas
  • Native frequency: Annual
  • Start date: 2011

The series reside in the historical catalog (Ireland » Demographics » Population » Annual) and include, for example:

  • VSQPOPETA.IIRL_BRD     = [DISCONTINUED] Vital Statistics: Estimated population as of April - Total, (Ths. #, NSA) - for NUTS (2013) 3 Border
  • VSQPOPTTUA.IIRL_MEA    = Vital statistics: Estimated population as of April - Both sexes - All ages, (Ths. #) - for NUTS (2016) 3 Mid-East
  • VSQPOPT0004UA.IIRL_DBL = Both sexes - Ages 0 to 4, (Ths. #) - for NUTS (2016) 3 Dublin

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.

Please be aware that

At this geo level, our extract includes the age breakdown, but not the combined sex and age breakdown.

The source publishes population counts as part of a five-year census and an annual estimate. We have standardized the concept codes for consistency between the two datasets and internationally, for example:

  • VSQPOPTTUA.IIRL (alias VSQPOPETA.IIRL)
  • VSQPOPTTUC.IIRL (alias VSQPOPTUA.IIRL)
