You asked

You have a great website but I am struggling to glean the population of West Chiltington, West Sussex – or find where this information is available.

Is there a summary document that provides population density for villages/towns/parishes etc that we can reference please.

We said

  1. Population of West Chiltington, West Sussex

    We do not publish population estimates at parish level but we do have an output area (OA) to parish lookup table that in combination with our OA population estimates enables these to be calculated.

    The look up table can be accessed from the link below. The parish code for West Chiltington is 'E04009974' https://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/Docs/Lookups/Output_areas_(2011)_to_parishes_(2011)_to_local_authority_districts_(2011)_E+W_lookup.zip

    The published OA population estimates for the South East region of England for 2013 and 2014 (which includes the population of West Chiltington) can be found here. http://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/datasets/censusoutputareaestimatesinthesoutheastregionofengland

    You should be able to find the population of West Chiltington by adding together the populations of the OAs that make up West Chiltington.

  2. Population density for villages/towns/parishes

    ONS does not publish population density for villages/towns/parishes. However, we do produce population density at lower layer super output areas (LSOA) level.

    This is the published population density at LSOA level for the year 2011 to 2014 http://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/datasets/lowersuperoutputareapopulationdensity

Please do not hesitate to contact pop.info@ons.gov.uk should you have any further questions.
