Exploring Scotland's Census in Port Glasgow



This course was organised following an enquiry from a team leader in the Quality & Development Service of  Inverclyde CHCP.  It was attended by people from a range of services in the council and a voluntary sector rep - who was the only one without meetings that day.

The course followed the usual format with an introduction to Census 2011 results, and then a demo of the Census Data Explorer.  The participants had a range of experience using websites and so the practical gave them experiences to explore aspects of the website which were most relevant.

Material published here on NRS website.

The final section of the course covered accessing flow data and migration tables - a bit rushed so the following posts include some screen shots of what was covered.  I will upload some additional slides covering this material.


Questions included
- sources of information available using datazones (2011)
- ongoing work to develop localities for community planning partnership
- ability to produce maps at local level using Census data

Workshop - Making the most of travel flow data





The aim of the workshop is to provide information to users on the methods for accessing the wealth of travel flow data which has been published from Scotland's Census. In addition, we will provide opportunities for users to discuss their requirements , and give advice on how these can be met. This will cover discussion on procedures for application, geographic areas, and classifications of characteristics used in Census and statistical disclosure control.

Fife Migrants Forum

I visited the Fife Migrants Forum last week to discuss the Census 2011 statistics on migration.  Fife Migrants Forum is a not-for- profit organisation that is run by a committee and provides free help, advice, support, information and referrals.

The following blog summarises the information on migrants from Census 2011 based on country of birth.  This will form the basis of further discussion on how these statistics can be further refined to provide information on specific communities.

There are thirty small areas (2011 datazones) in Fife with over 10% of the population who were born outside the UK.   The areas with the highest percentages of non-UK born are in St Andrew's.  These are highlighted on a map and listed below.

Table QS801SC from the Census Data Explorer can be used to find more details of the countries of birth and how long the migrants have been in the UK.







The remaining datazones are in Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline and Cupar.

The Census tables for 2011 datazones are currently only available through Standard Outputs. Downloadable files will soon be available containing all published tables for these geographies.

Details of the datazones were be downloaded from the Scottish Government website

and the ONS Open Geography Portal http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/sns/SNSRef/DZ2011Lookups
