We've led the development of a new method for estimating the number of excess deaths across UK countries.

Julie Stanborough talks us through the data released today and how this new method will give us a better understanding in this complex area ➡️ ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati…
Expected number of deaths used to calculate excess mortality is now estimated from age-specific mortality rates rather than death counts, so changes in population size and age structure are taken into account. Our new method also accounts for trends in population mortality rates.
In 2023, the new method estimates 10,994 excess deaths in the UK, which is 20,448 fewer than the current method.

We've been investigating the quality of #Census2021 gender identity data after some unexpected patterns were identified.

Our final summary report has been published today to help users in their interpretation of the census results.

➡️ ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati…
Commenting on the release of today’s report, Jen Woolford Director of population statistics at the ONS said: (1/6)💬⬇️ Quote graphic with the wording: We have confidence in our gender identity estimates at a national level, however there are some patterns in the data that are consistent with - but do not conclusively demonstrate - that some respondents may not have interpreted the question as intended, for example, people with lower English language skills in some areas. Jen Woolford, Director of Population Statistics, ONS
She went on to say: (2/6)💬⬇️ Quote graphic with the wording: While these patterns may be unexpected, this does not necessarily mean they are wrong. Some local authorities may attract trans people due to established communities and unexpected patterns can result from correlations between variables, such as younger age profiles in some ethnic groups.

We've published a new article exploring the disability, health status, ethnic group, religion and employment of people of different sexual orientations (aged 16 years and over) in England and Wales using #Census2021 data.

➡️ ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati…
Sexual orientation: further personal characteristics, England and Wales; Census 2021. Read our new release.
#Census2021 included a voluntary question about sexual orientation of usual residents aged 16 and over:

▪️ 89.4% said they were straight or heterosexual
▪️ 3.2% identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual or another sexual orientation (LGB+)
▪️ 7.5% did not respond to the question
People who identified as LGB+ were younger on average, with a far higher proportion aged between 16 and 34 years (57.9%) than in the overall population of England and Wales (29.6%).

However, different LGB+ sexual orientation groups had markedly different age distributions. Multiple rotated bar charts showing people who identified as LGB+ were much younger than the overall population of England and Wales.
