Confidence: 95% confidence interval of percent figure (+/-). - indicates figures that are missing. * Estimate and confidence interval unreliable since the group sample size is small (3-9). ! Estimate and confidence interval not available since the group sample size is zero or disclosive (0-2). ~ Estimate is less than 500.
Rounding and weighting: Data has been rounded to the nearest 5 and reweighted in line with the latest ONS estimates.
