Policy options for 2011 Census Geography from the Office for National Statistics: Consultation

The Office for National Statistics has launched a consultation on geography policy for the 2011 Census outputs. The consultation will run until the 26th March and invites users to comment on any aspect of the policy, but particularly on three key areas of it.

These are the creation of a new geography for business statistics, the need for an upper layer of Super Output Areas, and to raise any exceptional instances where 2001 census geographies do not perform as they should.

This consultation represents a last opportunity to provide feedback on geographies before the 2011 Census and to support the development of Census geography policy. Further details can be found at the URL below:
