Administrative unit

Basildon District

District/Unitary Authority

This is a modern unit which was reported on by the 2001 census. Most of our historical statistics were originally gathered for units with quite different boundaries. To give you a clear picture of long-run change, we have used our detailed information on boundaries and population distribution to redistrict the historical statistics to the modern units.

Statistical comparisons will be made with Ashfield (change comparison)
