This dataset provides 2011 Census estimates for the density of the workplace population for areas in England and Wales. The estimates are as at census day, 27 March 2011.

This information helps central and local government to assess changes in housing demand and allocate resources to revise and develop housing plans and policies.

In order to protect against disclosure of personal information from the 2011 Census, there has been swapping of records in the Census database between different geographic areas, and so some counts will be affected. In the main, the greatest effects will be at the lowest geographies, since the record swapping is targeted towards those households with unusual characteristics in small areas.

More details on the ONS Census disclosure control strategy may be found on the Statistical Disclosure Control page on the ONS web site.
