Output Areas – Part Removed are polygons that were removed in order to make an OA single part. This was purely a cosmetic exercise. There were 531 non-contiguous Census Output Areas not caused by water. The part to be removed did not contain a Postcode Grid Reference and in the majority of cases it was the smaller of the polygons, but in a few instances it was the larger part due to the density and Postcode Grid Reference location.
The area of these polygons is included in the area figure for the original 2022 OA in statistical output.
