Sources and methodology

Change over time

Scotland values are the 2011 and 2022 Censuses; this is not an annual series.

Historical sources and methodology: 2011 to 2022

Historical release: Scotland Census 2011 (scotland-census-2011-v1). Official source: NRS Scotland Census 2011 Output Area tables.

Official Census small-area data are reproducibly allocated to the fixed Definition A geographic counties using the locked historical methodology. Source statistical areas are not themselves geographic counties.

Paired current release: Scotland Census 2022 (scotland-census-2022-v2). Official source: NRS / Scotland's Census 2022.
