National Census Data

The National Census is carried out every 10 years in England and Wales. The most recent was carried out in 2011.

The statistics collected provide a rich source of information about the number, distribution and characteristics of the population of England and Wales.

This information underpins the allocation of billions of pounds of public money nationally for services such as education, transport and health. It will also be useful on a local level to direct priorities, policy and action.
