  "The usually resident population at the 30th of June in each of the 13 national parks of England and Wales, on the parks' boundaries as at the 2021 Census. The ONS builds them up from its output area estimates and presents them unrounded, though it says they are not accurate to the last person.",
  "The ONS gives no figure for all the parks together, nor for England's or Wales's, so none is shown. The parks have no pages of their own, and no official source the hub reads says which parks a constituency takes in, so no seat's page lists one.",

  "Mid-2022 is the ONS's revised figure of November 2025, on the same basis as mid-2023 and mid-2024."
