2011 Census: Key Statistics for revised wards

This dataset includes data from the 2011 Census released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

Data has been derived from Census Output Areas which have been aggregated to 2016 and 2019 wards on a best fit basis. This has been done by allocating output areas to the ward in which the output area's population weighted centroid falls. The aggregations have been determined by the Surrey-i team and may differ from any look up table subsequently produced by the Office for National Statistics.

Includes:

Elmbridge and Woking wards revised in 2016

Reigate & Banstead, Runnymede and Surrey Heath wards revised in 2019

Notes and Definitions

1. The main population base for outputs from the 2011 Census is the usual resident population as at census day (27 March 2011).

Although the population base for enumeration included non-UK short-term residents, these are not included in the main outputs from the 2011 Census, but are analysed separately. All outputs, unless specified, are produced using only usual residents of the UK.

2. For 2011 Census purposes, a usual resident of the UK is anyone who, on census day, was in the UK and had stayed or intended to stay in the UK for a period of 12 months or more, or had a permanent UK address and was outside the UK and intended to be outside the UK for less than 12 months.

3. Further information about the census estimates, including details about the methodology and other definitions used, how other population sub-groups are counted, Output Area maintenance and other geographic information, are available on the ONS website at http://www.ons.gov.uk/census

Occupancy rating:

Occupancy rating provides a measure of whether a household's accommodation is overcrowded or under occupied. In this summary the measure of occupancy rating, is based on the total number of rooms in a household's accommodation. The ages of the household members and their relationships to each other are used to derive the number of rooms they require, based on a standard formula. The number of rooms required is subtracted from the number of rooms in the household's accommodation to obtain the occupancy rating. An occupancy rating of -1 implies that a household has one fewer room/bedroom than required and is thus overcrowded.

Central heating:

A household’s accommodation is classified as having central heating if it is present in some or all rooms (whether used or not).
