They may not, therefore, be precisely accurate. Age-standardised statistics and population density are not available for aggregated datasets.

These values are calculated by adding up the values for census output areas contained within West Midlands. They may, therefore, be slightly inaccurate due to administrative boundaries not precisely aligning with census boundaries.
