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

Workplace population
The workplace population is an estimate of the population working in an area. It includes usual residents aged 16 to 74 whose usual place of work is in the area. This population is equivalent to the workplace population used in the 2001 Census.

The following population groups are excluded from the workplace population of an area:
- Those living in England and Wales but working in Scotland, Northern Ireland, outside the UK or on offshore installations,
- Those with a place of work in England and Wales but who are not usually resident in England and Wales, and
- Short-term residents
