The issue affecting the 23 September 2026 release has now been resolved, and all datasets associated with the release are now available and complete for all areas.
Shortly before our original publication on 23 September 2026 we identified an issue in the process used to convert from old International Territorial Level (ITL) 2 subregions to new subregions introduced in the ITL25 update. The issue affected ITL2 subregions: K5 (West of England), K6 (North Somerset, Somerset and Dorset), K7 (Gloucestershire and Wiltshire), L3 (North Wales), L4 (Mid and South West Wales), L5 (South East Wales), M2 (Highlands and Islands), and M3 (West Central Scotland). All lower-level areas within these subregions were also affected, as were any city and enterprise regions containing parts of these subregions. ITL1 countries and regions were unaffected.
We suppressed any estimates for these areas in the original publication to avoid releasing potentially misleading information. We have corrected the issue, and this dataset is now complete. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this delay, and we thank you for your patience while we worked to resolve the issue.
