Note:

1 Rate is, for example, residents aged 65 or over supported by an LA divided by the population aged 65 or over of that LA. LAs may support residents outside their boundaries. They appear as supported residents for the LA but population for a different LA. Where this is the case, the supported residents per head figures will be exaggerated.
