9. The Future of the Census

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

11. 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.

12. 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.

14. 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.

15. 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?
