About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Scotland population distribution across 18 age groups. It lists the population in each age group along with the percentage population relative of the total population for Scotland. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Scotland by age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group in Scotland.

Key observations

The largest age group in Scotland, GA was for the group of age 5-9 years with a population of 80 (16.74%), according to the 2021 American Community Survey. At the same time, the smallest age group in Scotland, GA was the 80-84 years with a population of 0 (0.00%). Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2017-2021 5-Year Estimates.

Usual Resident Population Census 2022 - data has been processed to include Stirling Council's multi-member ward and community council information.Households:On Census Day there were 2,509,300 households with at least one usual resident. This is up 136,500 (5.8%) from the 2011 census. The percentage increase in the number of households (5.8%) was higher than the increase in the population (2.7%).The increase in the number of households was mostly due to a 106,700 increase in single person households (up 13.0%). The 2021 census in England and Wales showed a smaller percentage increase in single person households since 2011 (up 5.9%). The 2021 census in Northern Ireland showed a larger increase (up 19.5%).There were 930,000 single person households in Scotland in 2022. Over a third of all households were single person (37.1%). Single person was the most common household size, followed by two person households (856,000).Working with census statistics:Census statistics represent the total population rather than just those who completed the questionnaire. Since the 2001 censuses, statistical modelling has been used across the United Kingdom to produce total population estimates from census responses.As with all estimates, there is a level of uncertainty. Users should consider uncertainty when working with census estimates and interpreting small changes.Glossary:Age - A person's age on Census Day, 20 March 2022.Council Area - There are 32 council areas in Scotland. Councils provide public services, including education, social care, waste management, libraries and planning.Sex - This is the sex recorded by the person completing the census. The options were "Female" and "Male". NRoS provided guidance on how to answer the sex question.Household - A household is defined as: one person living alone, or a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address who share cooking facilities and share a living room or sitting room, or dining area. This includes: all sheltered accommodation units in an establishment (irrespective of whether there are other communal facilities), and all people living in caravans on any type of site that is their usual residence; this will include anyone who has no other usual residence elsewhere in the UKA household must contain at least one person whose place of usual residence is at the address. A group of short-term residents living together is not classified as a household, and neither is a group of people at an address where only visitors are staying.Household Type & Household Composition - These describe households according to the type of family present or the relationship between the household members. More information on the 'Household type' and 'Household composition' variables is available on our metadata pages.Marital and civil partnership status - The legal relationship a person has with another person on census day (20 March 2022) regardless of current living arrangements. Cohabiting couple - partners who have indicated that they live together but are not married or in a civil partnership. Lone-parent family - a family with a single male or female parent living with either dependent or non-dependent children.Dependent child - Dependent children are those living with their parent(s) and aged under 16, or aged 16 to 18 in full-time education. Children aged 16 to 18 who have a spouse, partner or child living in the household are not included.Non-dependent child - Non-dependent children are those living with their parent(s) and aged 19 or over, or aged 16 to 18 and not in full-time education. Children who have a spouse, partner or child living in the household are non-dependent. Non-dependent children are sometimes called adult children.Age of Arrival in UK - Age of arrival in the UK is calculated using the date that a person last arrived to live in the UK and their date of birth. Short visits away from the UK are not counted in determining the date that a person last arrived. Age of arrival is only recorded for people who were not born in the UK. Length of residence in the UK - Length of residence in the UK is calculated using the date that a person last arrived to live in the UK and census day. Short visits away from the UK are not counted in determining the date that a person last arrived.Length of residence in the UK is only recorded for people who were not born in the UK. UK censuses The Office for National Statistics is responsible for the census in England and Wales. Data and supporting information is available on the ONS website.The Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency is responsible for the census in Northern Ireland. Data and supporting information is available on the NISRA website.

This dataset contains gridded human population with a spatial resolution of 1 km x 1 km for the UK based on Census 2021 (Census 2022 for Scotland) and Land Cover Map 2021 input data. Data on population distribution for the United Kingdom is available from statistical offices in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland and provided to the public e.g. via the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Population data is typically provided in tabular form or, based on a range of different geographical units, in file types for geographical information systems (GIS), for instance as ESRI Shapefiles. The geographical units reflect administrative boundaries at different levels of detail, from Devolved Administration to Output Areas (OA), wards or intermediate geographies. While the presentation of data on the level of these geographical units is useful for statistical purposes, accounting for spatial variability for instance of environmental determinants of public health requires a more spatially homogeneous population distribution. For this purpose, the dataset presented here combines 2021/2022 UK Census population data on Output Area level with Land Cover Map 2021 land-use classes 'urban' and 'suburban' to create a consistent and comprehensive gridded population data product at 1 km x 1 km spatial resolution. The mapping product is based on British National Grid (OSGB36 datum).

This dataset is a March 2021 UK estimates for a range of census topics. Based on Census 2021 totals for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, added to estimated equivalent values derived from Scotland’s Census 2022. This is created by ONS Census Customer Services.

Methodology

Here is the Quality and methods guide for census-based statistics UK: 2021.

These data have been created to provide an image of how UK census data may have looked if the most recent UK censuses had been conducted with an aligned date of 21 March 2021. They provide census-based estimates of the usual resident population and of households in the UK, Great Britain, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland and England and Wales combined.

These data contain estimates for a range of topics, based on data from the three most recent UK censuses:

• Census of England and Wales, 21 March 2021; conducted by the Office for National Statistics
• Census of Northern Ireland, 21 March 2021; conducted by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency
• Census of Scotland, 20 March 2022; conducted by National Records of Scotland

Data for England, Wales and Northern Ireland are taken from Census 2021 results, while data for Scotland are based on interpolated Census 2011 and 2022 results and adjusted to ensure they are in line with mid-year estimates for Scotland. Census source data used to construct these tables have been taken from Census 2021 data for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and Census 2011 and Census 2022 data for Scotland, all of which are publicly available.

Some of the data used in the construction of this publication are from previously published commissioned census datasets and custom datasets for Census 2021 and Census 2022, constructed using custom data tools on the ONS, NISRA and NRS websites.

It is important to emphasise that statistics presented in this publication for Scotland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom, although derived from census statistics, are not considered to be census statistics themselves, but rather census-based statistics. For Scotland, statistics from Census 2022 remain the definitive census statistics.

Accreditation status

All source data used to create this publication have been granted Accredited Official Statistics by the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR).

This means they have been independently reviewed by OSR and found to comply with the standards of trustworthiness, quality and value as set out in the Code of Practice for Statistics. This means that they:

• meet identified user needs
• are well explained and easily accessible
• are produced based on appropriate data and methods
• are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest

This accreditation status is retained for the statistics in this dataset for England and Wales (separately and combined) and for Northern Ireland.

However, the statistics in this dataset for Scotland, Great Britain and the UK have just Official Statistics status, without accreditation.

The ONS have agreed this labelling with OSR, in recognition that methods required to create Scottish data for 2021, while pragmatic, necessarily involves greater uncertainty than had there been an actual data collection at that time.

UK armed forces veterans by age and sex in Great Britain, using England and Wales Census 2021 and Scotland’s Census 2022 data

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The 2021 UK Census was the 23rd official census of the United Kingdom. The UK Census is generally conducted once every 10 years, and the 2021 censuses of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland took place on 21 March 2021. In Scotland, the decision was made to move the census to March 2022 because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The censuses were administered by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) and National Records of Scotland (NRS), respectively. In England and Wales, Census 2021 was the first census with a digital-first design, encouraging participants to respond online rather than on a paper questionnaire.

Topics covered in the 2021 UK Census included:

• demography and migration
• ethnic group, national identity, language and religion
• labour market and travel to work
• housing
• education
• health, disability, and unpaid care
• Welsh and other languages
• UK armed forces veterans
• sexual orientation and gender identity.

A census of population is held every ten years in the UK, in England and Wales it is undertaken by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), in Scotland by the National Records of Scotland (NRS) and in Northern Ireland by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA).

In England, Wales and Northern Ireland the latest census was taken on Sunday 21st March 2021. Due to issues around COVID-19, the census in Scotland was held a year later on 28th June 2022.

The census asks questions about you, your household and your home. In doing so, it helps to build a detailed snapshot of our society. Information from the census helps the government and local authorities to plan and fund local services, such as education, doctors' surgeries and roads.

Topics covered by the data released by the Census agencies include -

Demography and migration, UK armed forces veterans, ethnicity, national identity, language, religion, labour market, housing, sexual orientation, gender identity, education, health, disability and unpaid care.

The data in this series covers aggregate data at geographies from country level down to Output Area. Due to disclosure control (data can be blurred, changed or withheld to protect anonymity) not all datasets are available at all levels.

- Accommodation and Housing

- Demography

- Health

- Identity

- Labour Market

- Language

- Ethnicity

- Education

- Disability and Unpaid Care

- Sexual Orientation

- Gender Identity

- Religion

- Armed Forces

This is an exact fit lookup file between Middle layer Super Output Areas as at December 2011 and Middle layer Super Output Areas as at December 2021 and Local Authority Districts as at December 2022 in England and Wales. This product has been provided with a change indicator field, that define the lookup between 2011 and 2021 MSOA. This field indicates which output areas / super output areas have changed between 2011 and 2021. This version 2 has had some changes to the change indicator field where splits have gone to complexes in under 10 MSOAs. There are four designated categories to describe the changes, and these are as follows:
U - No Change from 2011 to 2021. This means that direct comparisons can be made between these 2011 and 2021 MSOA.
S - Split. This means that the 2011 MSOA has been split into two or more 2021 MSOA. There will be one record for each of the 2021 MSOA that the 2011 MSOA has been split into. This means direct comparisons can be made between estimates for the single 2011 MSOA and the estimates from the aggregated 2021 MSOA.
M - Merged. 2011 MSOA have been merged with another one or more 2011 MSOA to form a single 2021 MSOA. This means direct comparisons can be made between the aggregated 2011 MSOAs’ estimates and the single 2021 MSOA’s estimates.
X - The relationship between 2011 and 2021 MSOA is irregular and fragmented. This has occurred where 2011 MSOA have been redesigned because of local authority district boundary changes, or to improve their social homogeneity. These can’t be easily mapped to equivalent 2021 MSOA like the regular splits (S) and merges (M), and therefore like for like comparisons of estimates for 2011 MSOA and 2021 MSOA are not possible.'

The Great Britain Historical Database has been assembled as part of the ongoing Great Britain Historical GIS Project. The project aims to trace the emergence of the north-south divide in Britain and to provide a synoptic view of the human geography of Britain at sub-county scales. Further information about the project is available on A Vision of Britain webpages, where users can browse the database's documentation system online.

These data were originally collected by the Censuses of Population for England and Wales, and for Scotland. They were computerised by the Great Britain Historical GIS Project and its collaborators. They form part of the Great Britain Historical Database, which contains a wide range of geographically-located statistics, selected to trace the emergence of the north-south divide in Britain and to provide a synoptic view of the human geography of Britain, generally at sub-county scales.

The census gathered data on levels of educational attainment only from 1951. In 1951 and 1961, attainment was measured simply by the age at which a person's education was completed, rather than by the level of qualifications achieved. These data cover, broadly, the adult population, including many people who had completed their education decades before the relevant census, so the data are indicative of the general level of education of the workforce at the census date, but are a problematic guide to the performance of the education system at that date. The census reports also include cross-tabulations of age of education completion with current age, but not with the level of geographical detail of the transcribed tables.

The 1951 data for England and Wales were computerised by Danny Dorling (now of Oxford University), as part of research funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

Latest edition information:

For the 2nd edition (June 2021), data for Scotland for 1951 and data for England & Wales and Scotland for 1961 have been added to the study.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Scotland Neck population by age cohorts (Children: Under 18 years; Working population: 18-64 years; Senior population: 65 years or more). It lists the population in each age cohort group along with its percentage relative to the total population of Scotland Neck. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution across children, working population and senior population for dependency ratio, housing requirements, ageing, migration patterns etc.

Key observations

The largest age group was 18 - 64 years with a poulation of 1,242 (61.09% of the total population). Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2017-2021 5-Year Estimates.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The 2021 UK Census was the 23rd official census of the United Kingdom. The UK Census is generally conducted once every 10 years, and the 2021 censuses of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland took place on 21 March 2021. In Scotland, the decision was made to move the census to March 2022 because of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The censuses were administered by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) and National Records of Scotland (NRS), respectively. In England and Wales, Census 2021 was the first census with a digital-first design, encouraging participants to respond online rather than on a paper questionnaire.

Topics covered in the 2021 UK Census included:

• demography and migration
• ethnic group, national identity, language and religion
• labour market and travel to work
• housing
• education
• health, disability, and unpaid care
• Welsh and other languages
• UK armed forces veterans
• sexual orientation and gender identity.

The 2021 Census: Safeguarded Individual Microdata Sample at Region Level dataset consists of a random sample of 5% of person records from the 2021 Census. It includes records for 3,021,455 persons. These data cover England and Wales only. The lowest level of geography is country (Wales) and regions within England. The dataset contains 89 variables and a medium level of detail.

Census Microdata

Microdata are small samples of individual records from a single census from which identifying information have been removed. They contain a range of individual and household characteristics and can be used to carry out analysis not possible from standard census outputs, such as:

• creating tables using bespoke variable combinations
• investigating specific combinations of variables or categories in a high level of detail
• conducting non-tabular statistical analyses on record-level data.

The microdata samples are designed to protect the confidentiality of individuals and households. This is done by applying access controls and removing information that might directly identify a person, such as names, addresses and date of birth. Record swapping is applied to the census data used to create the microdata samples. This is a statistical disclosure control (SDC) method, which makes very small changes to the data to prevent the identification of individuals. The microdata samples use further SDC methods, such as collapsing variables and restricting detail. The samples also include records that have been edited to prevent inconsistent data and contain imputed persons, households, and data values. To protect confidentiality, imputation flags are not included in any 2021 Census microdata sample.

The 2021 Census: Safeguarded Individual Microdata Sample at Region Level data cover: communal establishments, demography, education, ethnicity, identity, language, religion, health, disability, unpaid care, housing, internal migration, international migration, labour market, students, travel to work, Welsh language; and UK armed forces veterans.

Population estimates for all geography types in Scotland: * Data Zone (2011) from 2011 to 2021 * Intermediate Zone (2011) from 2011 to 2021 * Council Area (2019) from 1982 to 2021 * Health and Social Care Partnership (2019) from 1982 to 2021 * Health Board (2019) from 1981 to 2021 All resources include Scotland figures for the relevant time period. Population estimates are broken down by single year ages and by sex, and gives totals for both. Based on 2011 census data. Note: Health and Social Care Partnerships may also be referred to as integrated joint boards or integration authorities by other public bodies.
