Lisburn · Northern Ireland

Sources and method

Lisburn and Castlereagh council area. Every figure carries its own date.

How to read this evidence

Dates and area boundaries matter. A council-area total is not automatically a city total. Missing observations stay missing; they are never treated as zero.

A city identity and its wider local authority are different geographies. Shared-authority cities reuse the same authority evidence and must display its full scope.

Missing/suppressed/failed observations remain null with a reason; they are never replaced by another city or zero.

Survey, census, administrative records and population estimates retain distinct evidence types.

Scottish crime counting rules and annual periods differ from Police UK street-level mapped crime. No common UK ranking is produced.

Census periods differ between nations: England/Wales and Northern Ireland 2021, Scotland 2022.

Source checking and automated validation are not independent analytical review or AQuA certification.

This work follows principles from the AQuA Book: transparent sources, proportionate checks, uncertainty and reproducible calculations. Automated and agent checks are not independent analytical assurance or certification.

Interpretations and proposals are labelled separately from official commitments. Source-change monitoring produces review candidates; it does not automatically approve publication.

Known publication issues and August 2026 data changelog

Police forces / Home Office data.police.uk · Open Government Licence v3.0

Checked 2026-10-17. Global no-crime-data notices and missing latest-month crime reports suppress complete-period comparisons. Historical missing-crime notices are tracked chronologically until an explicit later crime refresh covers that month. Unresolved historical notices preserve observed rows but block trend interpretation. Stop-and-search and outcomes notices are not treated as crime omissions. UK Facts separately flags unexplained source discontinuities without asserting their cause.

NISRA Urban Settlements: official NIHE GIS representative points

Statistics keyed to N09000007 cover the Lisburn and Castlereagh authority area. They must not be described as the built-up city alone. City, parish, settlement and electoral-ward boundaries are separate geographies.

Map point coordinates identify the place for navigation; the marker does not define the area covered by a statistic.

Northern Ireland Census 2021 electoral-ward statistics use NISRA methodology and may be approximated from Data Zones; District Electoral Areas and wards are different geographies.
