St Helier electoral districts population figures (FOI)

Request

What are the population figures for the three town electoral districts of St Helier North, St Helier Central and St Helier South as recorded in the 2021 census?

Response

The information requested is currently not held. Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.

It is intended to publish a population breakdown by Vingtaine within the next 12 weeks on www.gov.je by way of a census bulletin. Article 36 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has therefore been applied.
