Applications of Population Counts Based on Administrative Data at Local Level

Abstract: The House of Commons Treasury Committee (2008) identified the three main purposes of population statistics as resource allocation, population ratios and local planning and intelligence, and described current population estimates as 'unfit for purpose'. This paper considers the limitations of current population statistics in the context of these purposes and how using administrative data available at local authority level can overcome them. A sequel to a companion paper in this journal dealing with the populat… Show more

“…In addition, the process of mapping the infrastructure is also followed by mapping the boundaries of each village RW (community group administrative boundary). RW boundaries collecting is one of HOT ID effort to make an enrichment in administrative data for everyone in order to make a detail spatial unit for better data analysis in various subjects [9]- [11].…”

“…The method we use here is more in line with the technique used by Harper and Mayhew [24,25]. We combine administrative data available at a coarse spatial level and a detailed buildings GIS layer in order to create spatial representations of individuals and households within buildings and allocate synthetic socio-economic values to them.…”

“…Whilst good progress has been made to demonstrate that administrative sources have utility to aid in counting the population (Harper and Mayhew, 2012), there is a pressing need to understand whether alternative data sources are fit for social science purposes in the analysis of population attributes. This paper contributes to the evidence base.…”
