New blog from @jamesrobards | Understanding our future population: Why projections are not predictions https://t.co/N74uf5eShE

[Alistair Dent @Unnilseptium]

@Edward_Morgan Indeed, when facts and assumptions behind projections change that is not "error". When weather forecasters fail to predict exact weather a month in advance that's because data, assumptions and even models change. Never heard that called "error".

@WizardsComPA Is this how little Twitter cares any more? Can't even clean up these allegedly criminal scam postings. https://t.co/BOgz93KCpT.

@theAliceRoberts I wonder why Raglan used this phrase. Were there never other names associated these foliate heads? Or were they never named? And why did the image become so popular in the 19th century?

We have developed an admin-based housing stock (ABHS) dataset to explore the feasibility of using administrative data to provide more regular census-like housing statistics for occupied residential addresses across England and Wales. #AdminData https://t.co/iSnMWaRazX

Fun time for me today presenting on #Census2021 to a student audience. Some great questions from the audience with different focus to recent Methodology Symposium.

We’ve released unrounded population and household #Census2021 estimates by sex and single year of age at even more detailed geographies 📍

The median age in England and Wales was 40 years in 2021 – compared with 39 years in 2011.

@lamarmotauk @stattymichelle The words "wouldn't be seen dead in" spring to mind.

@RangemasterUK I've not had a good experience with rangemaster lately. That dogs expression might suggest he didn't have a good experience either. Shocking customer service.

Are you interested in helping Government make better use of its data? Encouraging wider data linkage and use, to improve policy? Telling the country about all the ways data makes lives better?

Maybe come and help @ONS, and me, do it? It'll be fun :-)
