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 2001 <i>Individual Licensed Sample of Anonymised Records</i> (I-SAR) is a 3% sample of individuals for all countries of the United Kingdom, with approximately 1.84 million records. The data are available for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Information is included for each individual on the main demographic, health, socio-economic and household variables. The 3% sample is an increase by comparison with 2% in 1991. Some variables have been broad-banded to reduce disclosure risk. The lowest level of geography is the Government Office Region (GOR), although Inner and Outer London are separately identified. This represents a significant reduction by comparison with the 1991 where large Local Authorities (population 120,000 and over) were separately identified.<br> <br> This dataset contains 89 variables; a version designed for imputation analysis, which contains an extra 84 imputation flag variables, is available under SN 7206.<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 age, gender, ethnicity, health, employment status, housing, amenities, family type, geography, social class, education, distance to work, workplace, hours worked and migration.
