The ONS doesn't publish census data directly for Metropolitan Counties. The figures on this page are aggregated
from census areas contained within Tyne and Wear. They may not, therefore, be precisely accurate. Age-standardised
statistics and population density are not available for aggregated datasets.
This dataset provides Census 2021 estimates that classify usual residents in England and Wales by long-term health problems or disabilities. The estimates are as at Census Day, 21 March 2021.
Summary
People who assessed their day-to-day activities as limited by long-term physical or mental health conditions or illnesses are considered disabled. This definition of a disabled person meets the harmonised standard for measuring disability and is in line with the Equality Act (2010).

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