Additional Information
The small differences are due to different sources. The 2016 data received from Esri comes from Environics Analytics and is an estimate based upon the 2011 Census data and other current publicly available sources. For more information check the Methodology documentation. The 2016 Census data was not available at the time the 2016 Environics Analytics data was released. It will be incorporated into the demographic estimates from Environics Analytics in the 2017 data release.
