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.

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, SD was for the group of age 85 years and over years with a population of 66 (8.25%), according to the ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates. At the same time, the smallest age group in Scotland, SD was the 80 to 84 years years with a population of 16 (2%).

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 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.

This service provides datasets relating to the 2011 Census published by the National Records of Scotland (NRS).

This dataset shows the creation of consistent registration district geography for Scotland from standardized registration districts and parishes in the Scottish censuses for the period from 1851 to 1901. More information is provided in the README document on the first worksheet in the Excel file.

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The UK censuses took place on 27 March 2011. They were run by the Northern Ireland Statistics & Research Agency (NISRA), National Records of Scotland (NRS), and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for both England and Wales. The UK comprises the countries of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Statistics from the UK censuses help paint a picture of the nation and how we live. They provide a detailed snapshot of the population and its characteristics and underpin funding allocation to provide public services. This is the home for all UK census data.

The 2011 Census Microdata Individual Safeguarded Sample (Regional): Scotland data collection forms part of the statistical outputs from the 2011 Scotland Census. A safeguarded microdata sample of individuals has been identified as a key Census user requirement, and was highlighted as part of a report specifying microdata products from the 2011 Census written by an expert user, Dr. Jo Wathan from the University of Manchester.

The purpose of a safeguarded sample of individuals is to be able to disseminate a detailed microdata file without onerous licensing conditions, by reducing the overall amount of detail compared to the secure samples. Whilst supplying sufficient detail on core variables to fulfil the intended aim of the microdata products, the safeguarded sample is a valuable multi-purpose research file that will be used on a wide range of projects. (For Censuses prior to 2011, these data may have been referred to as 'Samples of Anonymised Records', or SARSs.)

This safeguarded sample is of 5% of the total population at Region level (Scotland), and contain a similar level of detail to the equivalent End User Licence Census 2001 Microdata samples. A similar Scotland dataset at Local Authority level is held under SN 7835. These samples have a low risk of disclosure; but not nil. Registered UK Data Service Census users can download the data to their laptops after agreeing terms and conditions that include constraints on data management under remote storage conditions.

Further information can be found on the Scotland's Census Supporting Information webpage.

Corresponding Regional and Local Authority level data for England and Wales are held under SNs 7605 and 7682, and for Northern Ireland under SNs 7769 and 7770.

This dataset is published as Open Data2022 Census LocalityThe Census Locality boundaries have been created using the Census 2022 frozen Postcode boundaries.National Records of Scotland (NRS) create Locality boundaries by first creating the Settlements geography, and then assigning any Postcode located within a Settlement to a Locality based on a point-in-polygon (PIP) process with the previous version of the Locality boundary. Postcodes that fall within a Settlement boundary that are unassigned after the PIP are manually examined and assigned to a Locality.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.

The dataset shows sex by single year of age for each of the 21 multi-member wards in Glasgow based on the 2011 Census outcomes. Age is dreived from the date of birth question and it is the person's age as at when the cenus was conducted on the 27th of March 2011.
