The Census Area Statistics series cross tabulates two or more topics. Data in this family of tables have a minimum population threshold (size) of 100 persons and 40 households. This means that they can be produced for output areas (OAs) and higher geographies. They provide the most detailed results possible for OAs.

The Standard Tables series cross tabulates two or more topics. Tables are released for wards and higher geographies. They are similar to Census Area Statistics tables but provide considerably more detail about the topics than their local equivalents, as the larger population means the risk of disclosure of personal information is lower.

The classifications used are usually the full versions with the most categories so provide the most detailed information available from the census about the topic. Like the Key Statistics, these tables are available from national level down to the very small census output areas.
