The Future of the Census

The Two Proposals Once a decade, like 2011, but primarily online Using existing government data and compulsory annual surveys

Once a Decade Online Census Same methodology as 2011 however emphasis on completing survey online. Strengths Weaknesses Rich set of statistics Small area data Tested approach High degree of continuity with past Censuses Provides a single high quality snapshot of the nation. Only once a decade Cost (£625 million in 2013 prices – £1.10p person per year) Burden on households Becoming difficult to achieve a high response rate Online approach risks excluding some people.

Existing government data & compulsory annual survey Administrative data sources already held by the government would be combined with a compulsory annual survey of 1% of households to provide an annual estimate of the population. A second, compulsory, more detailed, survey of 4% of households would be used to provide information on the characteristics of the population. This would be similar to the 2011 Census survey, but mainly online.

Existing government data & compulsory annual survey Area Type 1 Years Data 3 Years Data 5 Years Data Local Authority Detailed cross-tabulations Very detailed cross-tabulations MSOA Some single variable statistics Very simple cross-tabulations Simple cross-tabulations LSOA Not available OA

Existing government data & compulsory annual survey Strengths Weaknesses Annual statistics Cost (£460 million in 2013 prices – 80p) Could extend use of administrative data to cover topics not included in census such as household income More flexible in questions Reduce burden on households. Data at small areas not available Combining years makes the date the data refers to less clear Untested method Discontinuities from previous Censuses Susceptible to changes in the administrative systems.

ONS Consultation What are your views of the different census approaches? What would be the impact if the statistics for small areas were not available? What would be the impact of annual statistics about population characteristics at local authority level? Any other issues?
