Field notes
Ezra distinguishes civil parishes, built-up areas, and statistical output zones rather than presenting them as equivalent geographies. For boundary-crossing zones, it reports a range based on what a place owns and the highest value it could contain. The homepage says 201 Dorset places are loaded, but only 3 currently have figures, and it records 1,386 figures overall. It also names two excluded official measures whose licences prevent republication.
