The mid-year population estimates are generally quoted in rounded form, this is because population counts from the census and subsequent updates involving births, deaths and migration cannot be precise. In general the precision of the population estimates could be considered to be no better than to the nearest 100.

¹From 1 April 2015 Action Fraud became responsible for the central recording of fraud and cyber crime previously recorded by PSNI; Action Fraud became responsible for all such reports in England & Wales by 1 April 2014. Action Fraud is the UK’s National Reporting Centre for fraud and cyber crime reported directly to them from the public and other organisations. While this means that these fraud and cyber offences are no longer recorded by PSNI, Action Fraud figures relating to fraud and cyber crime occurring in Northern Ireland are provided to PSNI on a monthly basis. All figures within this table exclude crimes recorded by Action Fraud.
² Revisions to previously published police recorded crime and outcome figures for 2015/16 and 2016/17: The Home Office introduced a wider outcomes framework for police recorded crime which was adopted within PSNI in April 2015; this approach means that every crime record should eventually be assigned an outcome. In a small number of cases changes to crimes, such as crime cancellation or identification of an outcome, occur after the figures have been published. To take account of such changes, revisions have been made to crimes recorded since 2015/16 which have since been cancelled or which have since had a sanction outcome identified. This has resulted in slight changes to the police recorded crime figures for 2015/16 and 2016/17.
