INTRODUCTION TO THE
WORKSHOP
Ole Black
Aims of the workshop
• Recap on what ONS has published so far
• Gain an insight into how census is used
• Share our thinking for our future plans and gain
your input into this - particularly on plans for
analysis
• Gain an understanding of how others are
planning to analyse census data
• Information on how to access the data through
ONS
Realising the benefits
The census is a rich and unique data set
• Census data are used to allocate funds
• Local authorities use local data on populations so local plans better
reflect future local needs and development happens in the right
places
• Census underpins consumer market research for the design of
surveys
• Census data help retail businesses tailor their stores so that they
better match the interests of local people
• Census data can shed light on policy or social issues – family types,
carers, areas of deprivation, environmental pressures etc
…and we aim to ensure that the opportunities
that the census release presents are maximised
