Kingston Census 2011
Thank you!
Thank you to everyone that completed and returned their 2011 Census.
The Office of National Statistics sent out questionnaires to around 25 million households to complete, asking about work, health, national identity, citizenship, ethnic background, education, second homes, language, marital status and so on. The answers will be turned into statistics and used to build a picture of today’s society.
The data will be available in Autumn 2012.
Why should this matter to you?
Like all Local Authorities in England and Wales, we rely on Census population statistics to identify local needs for public services. Central government funding for these is directly related to how many and what kind of people the Census shows live in our area. So even if the Census were to end up just a few households short, it could make a very real difference to people’s lives.
