District Council Area Statistics: 1992 and 2014
Date published:
Tables showing the numbers of farms, crop areas, livestock numbers and persons working on farms in each District Council Area.
In 2008, the Northern Ireland Assembly approved the reform of Local Government. The change moved Local Government from the 26 current Districts (LGD1992) to 11 new Districts (LGD2014), as well as making changes to the powers of Local Government. The geographical changes were initiated through the Local Government (Boundaries) Act (Northern Ireland) 2008.
The 11 new Districts became operational in April 2015. Further information is available in an LGD 2014 information paper produced by NISRA.
Chapter 6 of the June Agricultural Census publication provides tables on the numbers of farms, crop areas, livestock numbers and persons working on farms in each District Council Area.
Timeseries data from 2010 to 2015 have been created for the previous 26 District Council Areas, as well as the 11 new District Council Areas introduced in 2015.
