Are you able to help with providing the most recent census data on age of population within the below postcodes?

We said
Thank you for your freedom of information request.
The 2021 Census Build a custom area profile function, released on 17 January, enables users to create a Census 2021 data profile for unit postcodes e.g. SW9 0AA, etc.
Please note the data and boundaries displayed in these profiles are aggregated from small areas on a best-fit basis, and therefore may differ slightly from other sources. Values may vary slightly from other published Census 2021 statistics because the "cell-key method" adds a small amount of noise to some cells in published datasets to protect against disclosure by differencing. Our Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC) for 2021 UK Census report sets out the strategies used to lower the risk of disclosure.
This recent blog explains how to make a Census 2021 data profile for your local area https://digitalblog.ons.gov.uk/2023/01/17/custom-profiles/
2021 Census data for postal geographies is not yet published. Postcode District level data will be released beyond the general phases two and three of our release plans for 2023.
If you have any queries regarding this data, census.customerservices@ons.go.uk can advise.
