Thank you for your Freedom of Information request regarding the population in a 30-mile radius of postcode RG18 3AN.

We publish population estimates by output areas and our geography department have calculated which output areas (OA) fall completely or partially within a 30-mile radius of RG18 3AN. Please see the download named 'OA11_RG183AN_30_mile_radius' to view this data.

There are over 8,000 OAs and we have calculated that the usual resident population is approximately 2.7 million people as at mid-2018. This is the latest year for which we have published data.

Most of the OAs are in the South East with the rest in the South West. By combining the files and matching the OA codes in the 30-mile radius file with those from the OA files you will be able to get more detailed data by sex and single year of age.
