<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 50); font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The UK censuses took place on </span>29th April 2001<span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 50); font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">. They were run by the Northern Ireland Statistics & Research Agency (NISRA), General Register Office for Scotland (GROS), and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for both England and Wales. The UK comprises the countries of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.</span><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 49, 50); font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Statistics from the UK censuses help paint a picture of the nation and how we live. They provide a detailed snapshot of the population and its characteristics, and underpin funding allocation to provide public services.</span></p>The <i> Census 2001: Small Area Microdata for Imputation Analysis</i> (SAM) is a 5% sample of individuals for all countries of the UK, with 2.96 million cases. Local Authority is the lowest level of geography for England and Wales, Council Areas for Scotland and Parliamentary Constituencies for Northern Ireland. The Scilly Isles have been merged with Penwith and the City of London with Westminster. Orkney and Shetland are merged into one area. All other areas are identified. The median sample size for an authority is 5,600 records and nearly eighty authorities have more than 10,000 records. The amount of individual detail in the SAM is less than in the 2001 Individual Licenced Sample of Anonymised Records (I-SAR)(see under SNs 7205 and 7206) because of the greater geographical detail in the SAM. <br> <br> <i>Caveat - Students:</i><br> As with the Individual SAR, the SAM includes those enumerated in a communal establishment and also full-time students who were enumerated at an address that was not their usual term-time residence. For the latter there is only individual-level information on age, sex, marital status and full-time student status. It is recommended that these students are not included in any analyses as they do not form part of the usual residents population base. <br> This dataset contains 155 variables, including 67 imputation flag variables. The standard version, containing 88 SAM variables, is available under SN 7207.<br> <br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><div>Accommodation type (brief)</div><div>Accommodation type (detailed)<br></div><div>Adults, Number Employed in Household<br></div><div>Adults, Number in Household<br></div><div>Age<br></div><div>Age of Family Reference Person (FRP)<br></div><div>Age of Household Reference Person (HRP)<br></div><div>Age of Students and Schoolchildren<br></div><div>Amenities<br></div><div>Armed Forces<br></div><div>Bath/Shower and Toilet, use of<br></div><div>Care (unpaid), Provision of<br></div><div>Care, Provision of<br></div><div>Carers and their Economic Activity, Number of<br></div><div>Cars and vans<br></div><div>Central heating<br></div><div>Children<br></div><div>Children, dependent<br></div><div>Communal Establishment Residents<br></div><div>Communal establishment, combined type and management<br></div><div>Concealed families<br></div><div>Country of birth<br></div><div>Country of Birth (additional categories)<br></div><div>Daytime Population<br></div><div>Dwelling Type<br></div><div>Economic Activity<br></div><div>Economic Activity of Associated People Resident in Households<br></div><div>Economic Activity of Full-time students<br></div><div>Economic Activity of Household Reference Person (HRP)<br></div><div>Ethnic group (England and Wales)<br></div><div>Ethnic group (England and Wales) of Household Reference Person<br></div><div>Family composition<br></div><div>Family status<br></div><div>Family type<br></div><div>Health, General<br></div><div>Hours worked<br></div><div>Household composition<br></div><div>Household composition (alternative classification)<br></div><div>Household dependent children<br></div><div>Household deprivation<br></div><div>Household Reference Person indicator<br></div><div>Household size<br></div><div>Household Space Type<br></div><div>Household Type<br></div><div>Households with students away during term-time<br></div><div>Industry<br></div><div>Industry, former<br></div><div>Limiting long-term illness<br></div><div>Limiting Long-Term Illness (LLTI), Household residents with<br></div><div>Limiting long-Term Illness, number of people with in household<br></div><div>Living arrangements<br></div><div>Living arrangements of Household Reference Person (HRP)<br></div><div>Lowest floor level<br></div><div>Marital status<br></div><div>Migration (armed forces)<br></div><div>Migration (Communal establishment)<br></div><div>Migration (People)<br></div><div>Multiple ethnic identifier<br></div><div>Occupancy Rating<br></div><div>Occupation (brief)<br></div><div>Occupation (detailed)<br></div><div>Occupation, former<br></div><div>Pensioner household<br></div><div>People aged 17 or over in household, Number of<br></div><div>Population Type<br></div><div>Public transport users in households<br></div><div>Qualifications (England and Wales)<br></div><div>Qualifications, highest level of (England and Wales)<br></div><div>Qualifications, professional<br></div><div>Religion (England and Wales)<br></div><div>Religion (England and Wales) of Household Reference Person<br></div><div>Resident Basis<br></div><div>Resident Type<br></div><div>Rooms in a dwelling, number of<br></div><div>Rooms, Number of<br></div><div>Rooms, Persons per<br></div><div>Sex<br></div><div>Sex of Household Reference Person (HRP)<br></div><div>Single Adult Households<br></div><div>Social Grade of Household Reference Person (HRP), approximated<br></div><div>Social Grade, approximated<br></div><div>Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC)<br></div><div>Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC) of Household Reference Person (HRP)</div><div>Socio-economic Classification (NS-SeC) of Household Reference Person (HRP), Main categories of<br></div><div>Student accommodation (Standard Output)<br></div><div>Student accommodation Type<br></div><div>Student status<br></div><div>Tenure<br></div><div>Tenure, dwelling<br></div><div>Time Since Last Worked<br></div><div>Travel to Work, distance<br></div><div>Travel to work, Means of<br></div><div>Travel to Work, Method of and Number of Employed People<br></div><div>Working Parents<br></div><div>Year last worked<br></div>The dataset includes information on households, age, gender, ethnicity, health, disability, employment status, housing, amenities, family type, caring, geography, social class, education, distance to work, workplace, labour force, hours worked, migration and population demographics.A further 67 imputation flag variables are also included.<br>
