Census 2001: National Report for England and Wales Part2 (2004)

The mobile nature of the population of England and Wales is illustrated by new census data, which shows that one in eight people had moved address in the year before Census 2001. This is one of the many findings revealed from the Census 2001: National Report for England and Wales part 2. This report follows the first part of the National Report for England and Wales, which published in May 2003 and contained the majority of detailed Census results for local authorities and higher administrative areas. This volume contains tables for England and Wales that were not included in the first part of the National Report. For some topics additional variables have been derived from a combination of responses to a number of questions. Examples of such derived variables are the National Statistics Socio-Economic Classification and living arrangements within the household. In addition to the tables included in this report, similar tables for wards in England and electoral divisions in Wales have been produced to allow analysis of smaller areas within local authorities. Simplified versions of the tables have also been produced for other regions.These regular censuses underpin and make an essential contribution to public policy and to service provision, on both public and private sector. The results from this latest census will form the basis for key decisions over the next ten years
