INTRODUCTION

The Census occurs once every ten years and provides

a wealth of data about the population of England and

Wales. The most recent Census Day fell on 27 March

2011 and the Office for National Statistics has now

released detailed data at ward level.

This profile captures the defining characteristics of

the population and it is grouped into three sections.

Who we are: Population, ethnic group, country of

birth, passport held, national identity, household lan-

guage, length of residence, religion, health. How we live: Household composition, marital status,

living arrangements, accommodation type, tenure,

occupancy, car availability. What we do: Economic activity, hours worked, travel

to work, employment industry, occupation, qualifica-

tions and students, provision of unpaid care.
