Data can be exported as a CSV file by clicking on the download option at the bottom of the table view.
-
- The legend details what is being displayed on the map and how. It indicates what data ranges the colour shadings relate to, plus what data indicator, area-level and contextual layers are being displayed and how the colours relate.
-
- The print option allows you to export the map choosing from an array of pre-defined layouts and formats. The generated outputs can be saved or printed.

Population projections | Norfolk
The projections below take population estimates as their starting point. The projected local authority populations for each year are calculated by ageing on the population from the previous year, applying local fertility and mortality rates to calculate the number of projected births and deaths, and then adjusting for migration into and out of each local authority. Fertility, mortality and migration assumptions are derived using values estimated using data from the five years before the base projection year, and do not take into account any known policy or demographic changes.
