How to read this report

Numerator: Aged 65 to 69 years + Aged 70 to 74 years + Aged 75 to 79 years + Aged 80 to 84 years + Aged 85 years and over. Divided by the total in the same TS007A table. All numerator categories must be present. Source-era authority boundaries are retained, including authorities since reorganised. Rounded, disclosure-controlled Census counts; not a current population estimate.
