As part of the ongoing Historical Census Digitisation Project, The Office for National Statistics, working in partnership with the University of Salford Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis lab (PRImA) and Nomis, have produced the next batch of digitised statistical outputs which are now available to explore and download via Nomis.
This release is focused on tables from the 1921 Census and covers topics including age, sex, orphanhood, and marital status. For the first time searchable, digital versions of the 1921 tables have been created, capturing a key point in our history post First World War One and the Spanish flu pandemic.
The tables can be accessed and downloaded via the Nomis website.
This is the first batch of several releases focused on 1921, with more being added once they are complete.
Analysis
Here at ONS we have produced some analysis of these newly digitised statistics. The findings can be found in our 1921 Census Unearthed article.
The article includes some interactive visualisations, that let you explore how your local district or county looked in 1921.
