2011 Census Bulk Data Download (Release 5)

2011 Census Bulk data products are provided here in a bespoke CSV format designed to be automatically loaded into systems that allow users to interrogate and manipulate the data. They are not designed for use in desktop spreadsheet tools, and users seeking downloads that are designed for viewing in those tools are advised to use the standard tools on the main Nomis and NeSS websites.

Where possible and applicable the bulk data files contain values with more decimal points than are provided in equivalent tables on the ONS, Neighbourhood Statistics, and nomis websites. This affects area measurement and calculated fields. As a consequence, rounding of this data by users may result in figures that vary slightly from the data on these websites, as the latter may be expressed as whole numbers or rounded or truncated to fewer decimal points and different rounding methods may have been applied.

Statistical Disclosure Control


In order to protect against disclosure of personal information, records have been swapped between different geographic areas. Some counts will be affected, particularly small counts at the lowest geographies.

For help or advice about these downloads contact ONS Census Customer Services (census.customerservices@ons.gov.uk, tel: 01329 444972).
