This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for the Religion by Individuals in Scotland.
A person's age on Census Day, 20 March 2022. Infants aged under 1 year are classified as 0 years of age.
This is the sex recorded by the person completing the census. The options were "Female" and "Male". Guidance on answering the question can be found here
This is a person’s current religious denomination or body that they belong to, or if the person does not have a religion, ‘No Religion’. No determination is made about whether a person was a practising member of a religion.
Religion is a voluntary question and 6.2% of the population did not provide a response. Please be aware that when we state percentages these are out of the whole population, not just those that provided a response. Our approach to imputation is also different for voluntary questions. Not stating a religion is considered to be a valid response, so we do not impute a religion for those who responded to the census but did not answer the religion question. However, we do impute religion for those who did not respond at all to the census. 'Not stated’ is one of the values that can be imputed for religion. More information on our edit and imputation method is available on the Scotland’s Census website.
Classification and comparison with 2011 census can be found here
