This profile describes the new Mossley ward, which comes into effect on 10th June 2004. The figures it contains must be regarded as provisional. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has yet to issue official and more accurate Census figures for the new wards. Interpreting Census Statistics Please note that small figures in Census tables are liable to be amended by the ONS to preserve confidentiality. This means that totals and percentages which logically ought to be the same may in fact be different, depending what table they come from. Useful Websites Basic Census results can be found at www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk, but these refer to pre-June 2004 wards.

Technical differences between the 1991 and 2001 Censuses make comparison difficult, and ward definitions have changed since 1991.
