This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for the Country of Birth by Individuals in Scotland.

Country of birth

Country of birth is the country in which a person was born. Users should be mindful of changes in EU members and accession states between 2011 and 2022. This will affect the number of countries which make up certain categories when comparing the results between censuses.

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, TX was for the group of age 5 to 9 years years with a population of 103 (16.97%), according to the ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. At the same time, the smallest age group in Scotland, TX was the 40 to 44 years years with a population of 4 (0.66%).

A Postcode was defined as high density if at least one of the following applied:It had more than 2.1 households per hectare.It had more than 0.1 non-residential addresses per hectare; orThe Census population per hectare exceeds five people.The threshold densities were set as they were found to give a good approximation to the built-up areas identified in previous Censuses using traditional methods. The second condition was included such that non-residential parts (e.g. industrial estates) of built-up areas could be identified and included.An additional rule was implemented from the 2016 (non-Census) version, which stated that any Postcodes which fell within the previous version Settlement boundary(based on centroid point in polygon assignment) would automatically be included in the new Settlement.The classified Postcodes were then grouped into areas of neighbouring high-density Postcodes, or ‘Settlements’. Areas of low-density Postcodes completely surrounded by the high-density areas (i.e. ‘holes’) were incorporated into the Settlement.Populations for each area were then calculated, and any settlement with fewer than 500 residents was discarded.2022 Census Settlement and Locality CentroidsEach population weighted centroid was calculated using a median centroid algorithm, the result of which is less influenced by outliers than the result of an algorithm to calculate the mean centroid. The process for creating Census 2022 Settlements centroids was automated usingESRI ArcGIS, but the general method is as follows. The median easting and northing coordinate pair for all Census 2022 frozenPostcodes within the Settlement is calculated, giving a notional centroid of the Settlement. The distance from each of the Postcode centroids to the notional (or median) centroid is calculated using Pythagoras' Theorem. The Postcode coordinate pair with the shortest distance to the median was then chosen to represent the centroid of the Settlement/Locality.

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for the Ethnic Group by Individuals in Scotland.

Ethnic group

Ethnic group classifies people according to their own perceived ethnic group and cultural background. Whilst the main ethnic group categories have not changed from the question asked in Census 2011, some of the detailed response options and write-in prompts for Scotland's Census 2022 were changed based on stakeholder engagement and subsequent question testing.

output area centroids scotland's census 2022 - open dataThis dataset shows the 2022 Census Output Areas (OAs). OAs are the smallest geographical unit for which Census data is released, and as a result, they act as the basic “building-blocks” for the creation of other statistical geographies, e.g. Data Zones. The OAs are constructed by aggregating together a small number of Postcodes. Because the OAs cover small areas and contain relatively small numbers of households and population (households in the range 25 to 89; population >= 60), there is only a limited amount of Census data that can be released without infringing confidentiality.An important requirement during the creation of the 2022 OAs was to attempt to keep the boundaries the same, or similar, as the 2011 OAs – this would make it easier to compare over the time periodSchema;Local Authority CodeLocal AuthorityOutput Area CodeMaster PostcodeEasting (X)Northing (Y)

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for method of travel to work or study of all occupied households in Scotland.

Method of travel to place of work or study of people in a household

A count of the number of people working or studying in a household and their method of travel used for the longest part, by distance, of their usual journey to work or place of study.

Information on method of travel to work/study helps to identify commuter patterns and routes and provide a reliable indicator for the demands placed on public and private transport.

The Scotland Heat Map includes information on the percentage of households in each 2011 Data Zone that are renting their home from a council or a housing association (socially renting). Alongside other heat map datasets, this data is used to identify areas suitable for measures to reduce carbon emissions from heating homes and other buildings. For example, through the creation of heat networks. The 2011 Census provides the total number of households and the number of socially rented households in each 2011 Data Zone. Scotland's census is carried out by National Records of Scotland. Boundaries for Data Zones are created by the Scottish Government. Census data and Data Zone boundaries are updated approximately every 10 years. The Scotland Heat Map is a tool to help plan for the reduction of carbon emissions from heat in buildings. More information can be found in the documentation available on the Scottish Government website: https://www.gov.scot/publications/scotland-heat-map-documents/ The Scotland's Census website provides details on how the census is carried out and information on accessing publicly available census data, including geographical areas: https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/
