| Coefficients of Variation have been calculated for the latest period as an indication of the quality of the estimates, as described below: | |||
| Guide to Quality: | |||
| The Coefficient of Variation (CV) indicates the quality of an estimate, the smaller the CV value the higher the quality. The true value is likely to lie within +/- twice the CV—for example, for an estimate of 200 with a CV of 5 per cent. we would expect the population total to be within the range 180-220. | |||
| Key Coefficient of Variation (CV)(%) Statistical Robustness | |||
| * 0 = CV< 5 Estimates are considered precise | |||
| ** 5 = CV < 10 Estimates are considered reasonably precise | |||
| *** 10 = CV < 20 Estimates are considered acceptable | |||
| **** CV = 20 Estimates are considered too unreliable for practical purposes | |||
| It should be noted that the above estimates exclude people in most types of communal establishment (e.g. hotels, boarding houses, hostels, mobile home sites etc.) | |||
