Statistics are most often revised for 1 of 2 reasons:

  1. For certain statistics initial estimates are released with the expectation that these may be revised and updated as further data becomes available.
  2. Revisions may also be made when methods or systems are changed.

These types of planned revisions should not be confused with errors in released statistics, which are genuine mistakes. Such mistakes occur rarely and, when they do happen, corrections are made in a timely manner, announced and clearly explained to users in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics (Principle 2, Practice 7).

We have identified a coding error in the 2025 edition of this dataset. The error affected the total fertility rate (TFR) of mothers in England and Wales born in the Americas and the Caribbean for 2001, 2011 and 2021. The error in the code resulted in Central America being excluded from the population counts in this calculation. We have corrected the following numbers in Table 7; for 2001 TFR was 2.11 (previously published as 2.71), 2011 TFR was 1.82 (previously published as 2.74) and 2021 TFR was 1.41 (previously published as 2.50). We are improving the quality checks for rates to reduce the risk of an error like this in the future. We apologise for this error.
