Administrative unit

Forest of Dean 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 Rhondda; Cynon; Taff (change comparison)
