Anyone needing ready-made UK geodata for local authorities that includes the latest ONS mid-year population estimates (2019): I've shared it here in shp, gpkg and geojson formats (you can also grab place labels, buildings and IMD files while you're at it)

automaticknowledge.co.uk/resources/

did I include a description of what the column headers mean? Yes.

Are there areas codes? Yes.

An area type column? Yes.

Region and country codes? Yes.

Single years of age? Yes.

NI big Loughs chopped out? Yes.

Free donuts? No.

did I make a code/name typo in a couple of places in the field name description file? Also yes.

(will fix but it doesn't affect any of the content, just my reputation as a typist)

fixed now

with such a dataset you could, if you wanted to, very easily identify all local authorities where 80 year olds outnumbered 18 year olds (and any other combination you might be interested in)
