I would like to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please provide the count of usual residents for the postcode "UB11".
In the 2021 census Postcode resident and household estimates, I searched P001, P003 and P004. In the 2011 census version, I searched all postcodes in Table 1 and Table 2. UB1 to UB10 is available but UB11 is not there.

Thank you for your freedom of information request.
According to the version of AddressBase Premium used to build the final address frame for Census 2021, there were 359 active UPRNs (addresses) with a postcode starting with ‘UB11’.
Of those 359 addresses, 2 were labelled as historic (demolished/derelict etc.) within the data.
The classification codes (assigned by Local Custodians) of the remaining 357 addresses showed there were none that had a ‘residential’ classification code. Instead, all addresses in the area had a classification code of a commercial address or a non-addressable/land object.
This is why there is nothing for UB11 when it comes to usual residency counts, as according to AddressBase Premium, there were no residential addresses in the area.
