Today, Sunday 21st March 2021 is the national census day for most of the United Kingdom. You can find out how data will be collected this year from the Census website and media now.

There are over 20,000 jobs available in the nation to work on the census.

Done just after the commencement of a decade for almost two hundred years, information helps with establishing the demographic profile of the country, planning its services and resources, having a vision for the future.

For information on families and patterns of life and occupations the census also allows us to look back one hundred years. The 1921 census is now published on Find My Past.
