Age data by district and by major housing estates

We're waiting for Bowie to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Census and Statistics Department,

I would like ask how to extract population by age in each district and major housing estate. The current population data only provides population by age group but I would like to access data of number of population at 12-year-old and between 12-18 years old in each district and major housing estate. I cannot find the particular age or age range of information from the current census data.

Yours faithfully,
Bowie

Dear Bowie,

Regarding your request for the population by age in district and major
housing estate, please refer to the attached statistical tables in
“Table_IDDS.xlsx”, which are generated from the Interactive Data
Dissemination Service (IDDS) on the 2021 Population Census (21C) Website
(Link : [1]https://idds.census2021.gov.hk/app/idds....) based on the
results of the 21C.

Table 1: Population by Age and District Council District, 2021
Table 2: Population by Age and Major Housing Estate, 2021

IDDS is a service which enables the public to build and customise their
own statistical tables online with data of population census/by-census.
 By using a web browser, you may build your own statistical tables or
various types of charts easily with statistics and classifications you

how to use the IDDS can be found from the following link

Please note that a major housing estate refers to a group of residential
buildings developed by the same developer (either in the public sector or
in the private sector) in one or more phases in a neighbourhood and with
at least 3 000 residents or 1 000 domestic households in 2021.

Besides, further breakdowns by single age for the population by major
housing estate are not readily available.  You are welcome to write an
email to [email address] specifying your data requirements, we will
study your requirement and may specially compiled the statistics for you
at a charge, subject to the consideration of statistical precision and
data confidentiality.
