Census 2021

Run by the Office for National Statistics, the Census is a once-in-a-decade survey that helps provide a unique snapshot of the society we live in. The most recent Census took place in spring 2021 and the information you gave will help organisations - from local authorities to charities -  plan and provide the services we all need, including transport, education and healthcare.

The findings provide us with an update on how our local population, as well as the wider population in England and Wales, has changed over the past decade. We have put together an image breakdown of these results.
