Shurely shome mishtake?

I read on Councillor Ruth Cadbury's website today, in a report on yesterday's Borough Council meeting, that the population of the London Borough of Hounslow was "up 17% since 2011".Is she serious?I assume it's a typo but would be grateful for some confirmation.  I would have asked her through the Comments section on her site but she didn't publish my last contribution so hopefully she or somebody else will be able to give me a response here.No particular reason for asking, it just struck me as unlikely.

The date has been changed on Ruth's website now.  Glad to be of service.

Well, according to the report on this site it appears Ruth meant 2001, still quite a drastic increase but a tad more credible.  Her website is still showing 2011, alas.

The figure I got for Hounslow 2011 was 245,900 against 2001 then 216,000.http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/publications/re-reference-tables.html?edition=tcm%3A77-162553http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/guide-method/census/2011/index.htmlBut it’s all a bit baffling to me re the old figures.I have no figures for 2012 but calculating exponential activity beneath the sheets is an art rather than a science-:)Interestingly using the same data base it seems Ealing’s growth is quite a lot less.322,000 from 307,000.

Officer statistics perhaps?
