How to find 2011 Census data...
To identify tables by topic, we recommend you start with the table finder. Alternatively browse the full catalogue of tables for each of the key statistics, quick statistics and detailed characteristics series.
Table Finder
| Table finder allows you to identify the table you need (from a list of hundreds) based on the topics you are interested in. You can then view and download data for the table. | |
Key Statistics
| The Key Statistics series provides summary figures covering the full range of topics from the census. These figures are available from national level down to the very small census output areas. | |
Quick Statistics
| The Quick Statistics series generally provides information about a single census topic. The classifications used are usually the full versions with the most categories so provide the most detailed information available from the census about the topic. Like the Key Statistics, these tables are available from national level down to the very small census output areas. | |
Detailed Characteristics
The Detailed Characteristics series cross tabulates two or more topics. The combination of topics and number of categories provide the most detail possible whilst maintaining the confidentiality of personal information.
The tables in the initial release are generally available from national down to local authority level. In a future update they will be provided down to ward and middle layer super output area (MSOA) level. A small number of tables that use detailed classifications are only published at regional and national level. | |
Ad-hoc Tables
| Ad hoc tables contain combinations of data that are not available in standard publications. They have been requested by the media or other user. Once created, ad hoc tables are published for all to use. | |
Bulk Download Products
| Bulk download products are provided in a CSV format designed to be automatically loaded into systems. They are not designed for use in desktop tools such as spreadsheets. Users seeking downloads designed for these tools should access the data using one of the options listed above. | |
