We have no plans to update historic series. Read the DWP statistical geographies note for more information.
Data on Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) benefits is released quarterly through:
A statistical summary document is published on a 6 monthly basis in February and August each year. It contains a high level summary of the latest National Statistics on Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) benefits.
During the quality assurance of Bereavement Support Payment (BSP) experimental official statistics, DWP statisticians have identified an issue with claims in payment figures. The data tables have been removed from the May and August 2019 publications. Tables 2-7 have been removed from the November 2019 publication. Table 1 is still available in the November publication onwards. Further information can be found on the DWP benefits statistics collection page and in the “Welfare and Benefits” community on StatsUserNet. Email stats-consultation@dwp.gov.uk if you have any comments or questions.
The data on Stat-Xplore has been extended to include Jobseeker’s Allowance, Incapacity Benefit and Severe Disablement Allowance, and a timeseries for Income Support from August 1999.
Due to the improvements made to Stat-Xplore, May 2019 will be the last time NOMIS is updated for the datasets listed under “Work and Pensions Longitudinal Study” and August 2019 will be the last update of the “5% Sample Data”. We will remove both products from NOMIS from November 2019. Please contact alan.gibson@dwp.gov.uk if you have any comments about this.

Due to the 2019 local government reorganisation, 5 new unitary authorities were created in April 2019, replacing 15 local authority districts. The new authorities are now reflected in our published figures for Housing Benefit administration from April 2019. Residency-based Housing Benefit data on Stat-Xplore will be updated to reflect the changes as part of a routine refresh in spring 2020.
We identified a small error in the number of Widow’s Benefit claimants on Stat-Xplore for February and May 2019. We removed the Widow’s Benefit datasets for February 2019 from Stat-Xplore and delayed the release of May 2019 Widow’s Benefit datasets. Figures for February and May 2019 have now been corrected and will be released on Stat-Xplore on 17 December 2019.
We will also introduce a new ‘65 and over’ age band for Widow’s Benefit and bereavement benefits datasets on 17 December 2019.
We are no longer updating NOMIS datasets.

Operational database used in prisons for the management of offenders. It contains offenders' personal details, age group, type of offence(s), type of custody (including those remanded on bail and sentenced), sentence length, prisoner movement data (internal and external), case note information, addresses of the prisoner (release, reception and curfew) and involvement in breaches of prison discipline. It also includes full details of the prisoners’ visits history, activities (both paid/unpaid work and offender rehabilitation programmes) and details of the prisoners’ financial records whilst in prison.
Previously named Claimant count. Information on the numbers and characteristics of people claiming benefit principally for the reason of being unemployed derived from Jobseeker's Allowance data. Available for various geographic levels down to local authority and parliamentary constituency.
This dataset contains the predicted prices of the asset Nomis Frens Pepe over the next 16 years. This data is calculated initially using a default 5 percent annual growth rate, and after page load, it features a sliding scale component where the user can then further adjust the growth rate to their own positive or negative projections. The maximum positive adjustable growth rate is 100 percent, and the minimum adjustable growth rate is -100 percent.
This dataset contains the data for Individuals serving custodial sentences in England & Wales who appear within records from the prison data source, p-NOMIS.
Workforce Jobs (WFJ) is a quarterly measure of the number of jobs in the UK and is the preferred measure of the change in jobs by industry. It is a compound source that draws on a range of employer surveys, household surveys and administrative sources. WFJ is the sum of employee jobs measured primarily by employer surveys, self-employment jobs from the Labour Force Survey, and government-supported trainees and Her Majesty's Forces from administrative sources. The spreadsheet shows change since last quarter and last year, with graphs displaying these trends. Data is available by industry from NOMIS WEB. Data back to Sep 1981 available for the UK, and back to March 1996 for UK regions (included in spreadsheet). Seasonally adjusted. The figures in this dataset are adjusted to compensate for seasonal variations in employment. UK totals include overseas based HM Forces personnel that cannot be assigned to a region. Supporting information is now available to identify a small number of estimates that are deemed unreliable from https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/articles/654.aspx. Data is rounded to the nearest 1000. Relevant link: http://www.nomisweb.co.uk/ For Borough level modelled estimates and projections of jobs see the GLA Employment Projections. Note - previously published figures may differ slightly from those published in December 2024 due to revisions made by Nomis.

Estimates of total businesses broken down by industry (2, 3, 4 digit SIC 2007 codes and industry section). Workplace data units from Annual Business Inquiry (ABI) for London and Great Britain. Data rounded to the nearest 100. Percentages calculated on unrounded data. An extract compiled from the Inter Departmental Business Register (IDBR) recording the number of local units that were live at a reference date in March. Estimates can be broken down by employment size band, detailed industry (5 digit SIC2007) and legal status. Available from country down to mid layer super output area and Scottish intermediate zones. A local unit is an individual site (for example a factory or shop) associated with an enterprise. It can also be referred to as a workplace. Industry is broken down using SIC 2007 codes. Read more about SIC here http://www.statistics.gov.uk/methods_quality/sic/downloads/SIC2007explanatorynotes.pdf The ABI is a business survey which collects both employment and financial information. Only employment information for the location of an employees workplace is available from Nomis The ABI is based on a sample of approximately 78,000 businesses and is used to provide an estimate of the number of employees. The difference between the estimate and its true value is known as the sampling error. The actual sampling error for any estimate is unknown but we can estimate, from the sample, a typical error, known as the standard error. This provides a means of assessing the precision of the estimate; the lower the standard error, the more confident we can be the estimate is close to the true value. https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/articles/showArticle.asp?title=Information&article=news/071212_abi-stderrors.htm This dataset excludes farm based agriculture data contained in SIC class 0100.

Indicators included are economic activity and employment rates for those aged 50-64 years, by country, region and local authority. Both economic activity and employment rates are displayed as percentages. These have been calculated from the ONS Annual Population Survey and have been extracted from NOMIS.
This dataset has been produced by the Ageing Analysis Team for inclusion in a subnational ageing tool, which will be published in July 2020. The tool will be interactive, and users will be able to compare latest and projected measures of ageing for up to four different areas through selection on a map or from a drop-down menu.
Note on update frequency: NOMIS provide quarterly updates on both indicators. For consistency with other indicators presented in the subnational ageing tool, these will be updated on an annual basis.
Employment (workplace) by industry from the Business register and employment survey (BRES). This data excludes self-employed but includes proprietors Employment = employees + working proprietors. Working Proprietors are sole traders, sole proprietors, partners and directors. This does not apply to registered charities. Numbers have all been rounded to the nearest 100 Before the BRES first existed in 2009, the ABI collected employment data by industry. The two surveys are not directly comparable. The BRES is a business survey which collects both employment and financial information. Only employment information for the location of an employees workplace is available from Nomis The BRES is based on a sample of approximately 80,000 businesses and is used to provide an estimate of the number of employees. The difference between the estimate and its true value is known as the sampling error. The actual sampling error for any estimate is unknown but we can estimate, from the sample, a typical error, known as the standard error. This provides a means of assessing the precision of the estimate; the lower the standard error, the more confident we can be the estimate is close to the true value. NOMIS website article This dataset excludes farm based agriculture data contained in SIC class 0100. The ABI was replaced by the Business Register and Employment Survey (BRES) from 2009 onwards, therefore this dataset will no longer be updated. More on ONS website

🇬🇧 United Kingdom English ONS Mid-year estimates (MYE) of resident populations for London boroughs are available in the following files: Mid-year population by single year of age (SYA) and sex, for each year 1999 to 2014. ONS mid-year estimates data back to 1961 total population for each year since 1961. These files take into account the revised estimates released in 2010. Ward level Population Estimates London wards single year of age data covering each year since 2002. Custom Age Range Tool An Excel tool is available that uses Single year of age data that enables users to select any age range required. ONS policy is to publish population estimates rounded to at least the nearest hundred persons. Estimates by single year of age, and the detailed components of change are provided in units to facilitate further calculations. They cannot be guaranteed to be as exact as the level of detail implied by unit figures. Estimates are calculated by single year of age but these figures are less reliable and ONS advise that they should be aggregated to at least five-year age groupings for use in further calculations, onwards circulation, or for presentation purposes. (Splitting into 0 year olds and 1-4 year olds is an acceptable exception). ONS mid-year population estimates data by 5 year age groups going all the way back to 1981, are available on the NOMIS website.
