This article describes the construction of population estimates for mid-1991 for electoral wards in England and Wales and postal sectors in Scotland. It shows how earlier work adjusting 1991 census figures at national and local authority level for undercount and other factors has been extended to smaller areas in a way that produces estimates which are consistent with the estimates for larger areas. Estimates for smaller areas are needed to calculate employment, health and other indices, and as a starting point for population estimates between census years.
本文描述了针对英格兰和威尔士的选举选区以及苏格兰的邮政部门构建1991年年中人口估计数的情况。它展示了如何将早期在国家和地方当局层面针对人口漏报及其他因素对1991年人口普查数据进行调整的工作，以一种能得出与较大区域估计数相一致的估计数的方式扩展到更小的区域。计算就业、健康及其他指数需要较小区域的估计数，并且这些估计数也是普查年份之间人口估计的起点。
