ONS published this against the parish boundary current at December 2022. This place carries the same code in ONS's 2025 parish lookup, which attests that no statutory boundary change was made between those two vintages — not that the boundary has not moved, since a minor Ordnance Survey amendment is not recoded. Nor does the code show that no statutory change has been made since 2025. ONS plots properties by Unique Property Reference Number or postcode into the parish boundary; Nomis calls this UPRN-to-parish best-fit.

police.uk locations are anonymised snap points — an approximation of where the crime happened, not a precise location. Counts are of crimes and anti-social behaviour incidents recorded within the boundary, not a rate. The boundary is this place's own outline, simplified before it is queried: police.uk accepts a single shape of limited length, so the outline is reduced to at most 90 points. Where a place's boundary comes in more than one piece, only the largest piece is counted.

About these figures
Why census totals differ between tables
The total number of residents or households is not identical in every census table published for Toller Porcorum. The Office for National Statistics makes small changes to the counts in each published table so that no person can be identified, and the totals of different tables can differ as a result. It says the differences should be small.

How areas are named
Areas are named in plain words on the charts. Their official codes are kept for anyone who needs to match these figures to the publishers' own tables.
Names beginning “Around” are generated descriptions. Locality names use OS map display priority, then estimated resident totals assigned to the nearest locality from each output area’s representative point. Road names use road length weighted by output-area resident density. These estimates do not locate individual residents or establish recognised neighbourhood names.
