Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it plans to publish sub-local authority data from Scotland’s Census 2022.
Answer
I have asked Janet Egdell, Chief Executive of National Records of Scotland to respond. Her response is as follows:
The next release of census data will be May 2024. This release will include:
- Population by age and sex at all geographies down to output area (unrounded)
- Number of households at all geographies down to output area (unrounded)
Please note, output areas are made up of approximately 50 households. Up to date information on future releases can be found on the census outputs schedule webpage .
In line with the requirements of the Code of Practice for Statistics, National Records of Scotland will publish the specific release date and time for each publication at least four weeks in advance.
