Note: The above information is extracted by areas aligned with data zone geographies. It is important to note that by adopting this approach, the localities listed in the tables do not exactly match the urban settlement boundaries contained in the adopted East Ayrshire Local Plan and may include some of the surrounding rural countryside. Therefore these figures should not be directly comparable with any future release of settlement population estimates by the National Records of Scotland.
