Release Plans for the 2011 National Census Statistics
Due to the breadth and depth of the 2011 Census results, the statistics on the main resident population base (usual residents) will be released in four stages. An overview of the content of each release, and their phased geography, is available to download.
- First release July 2012: Age and sex, and occupied households estimates for England and for Wales
- Second release November 2012 – February 2013: Key and Quick statistics
- Third release March 2013 – June 2013: Local Characteristics
- Fourth release July 2013 – October 2013: Detailed Characteristics, Theme and Armed Forces
Statistical commentary will appear alongside every major release of 2011 Census statistics. This will provide description and context around each topic, provide comparability to the 2001 Census outputs, and highlight further sources of information where applicable. A statistical bulletin will accompany each stage of release of 2011 Census statistics.
2011 Census statistics will be accompanied by appropriate reference material to ensure that terms and concepts are defined and data are placed in context.
Changes in the population will also be shown through ONS data visualisations. Visualisation provides an easily accessible way to identify key changes and compare results across geography and/or through time.
Other statistics, for example specialist products and statistics on alternative population bases, will be released subsequently. In time, more detailed products will be available under special agreement (for example microdata samples and flow-data). Access arrangements and agreements will be published as soon as they are available.
The planned tables may be subject to redesign before release, as a result of the application of statistical disclosure control.
