Special postcode sectors are created for census output to ensure sectors conform to a minimum threshold (400 households and 100 persons) and do not cross Council Area boundaries. There are 859 ST sectors. 2001 ST sectors are mergers of 2001 Census Area Statistic (CAS) sectors. Where a CAS sector fails to meet the minimum threshold for ST sectors it is merged with one or more neighbouring CAS sectors within the same Council Area so that the ST threshold is met. ST sectors are labeled ‘DD1 1;DD1 3’ with a semi-colon to indicate the merger. ST sector cover Scotland and extend to the Mean High Water Mark (MHW).
