    How to interpret this

    A lower or higher estimate does not establish a better city. Housing stock, household composition and boundaries affect comparisons. Equal estimates share an order; overlapping uncertainty may make apparent differences inconclusive.

    Three-month moving average, seasonally adjusted, population aged 15+. Compare like-for-like CMA series only.
