How to read this
The figures describe places, not the people who live in them, and they are counts of records, not rates: we do not hold population figures for Northern Ireland here. We say "higher" or "lower", never "good" or "bad", and where something is missing we say so instead of filling the gap.
- Assembly members are matched to the Westminster constituency of the same name; the Belfast South boundary differs slightly after the 2024 review.
- Health trusts are matched from council area; Mid Ulster and Newry, Mourne and Down are shared between trusts.
- School governor records are not published for Northern Ireland.
