*The statistical information presented for each of the detailed outcomes is sourced from the Community Planning Outcome Profiling tool (CPOP). However slight anomalies exist relating to Wards 10, 11 and 12. Intermediary data zones do not match identically the geographic nature of electoral wards. The community of Eskdalemuir geographically sits within Ward 12 (Annandale East and Eskdale) but for CPOP is attached to the community which is in Ward 11. Similarly Eastriggs is geographically in Ward 10 (Annandale South) but for CPOP is attached to the Gretna community which is in Ward 12. In such cases, the statistical information cannot be disaggregated further to allow the information to be presented differently.
