The GLA have commissioned a Method of Travel to Work table (CT0045) for ward, LA/UA, counties and regions in E&W which is comparable with the 2001 table. This is identical to table CT0015 ONS previously released to support their own analysis but was only released down to district level.
This new table provides Census estimates that are consistent with the classifications used in 2001 (table KS015), e.g. if a person indicates their place of work is at their home address but said that they travel to work by driving a car or van, they will appear in the category “Work mainly at or from home”, as was the case in 2001. In contrast, the 2011 table QS701EW uses a person’s method of travel to work to classify them, even if they have ticked the “Work mainly at or from home” category.
(We have requested ONS add geography codes to this file as it currently only contains names).

We have recently updated the System files available from our website to include:
- population centroid data for 2011 Census Output Areas, Lower Layer Super Output Areas and Middle Layer Super Ouptut Areas (the population weighted centroid is a single point that represent the median location of households). These may be extracted from the software using the header variables “Easting” and “Northing” which are stored on the updated System files.
- Quick Statistics tables: QS212EW (Passports Held (detailed)), QS214EW (National Identify (detailed)) and QS611EW (Approximate Social Grade).
This completes all the Key and Quick Statistics tables expected from the 2011 Census.
Next week (16/5) ONS will be releasing 42 Detailed Characteristic tables and will be the first detailed cross tabulations produced from the 2011 Census. This release represents Phase 1 of 3 in Release 3.0. 33 of these tables will be available for ward and Middle Layer Super Output Areas, 1 at Local Authority and 8 at regional level. The final table layouts can be found here (.xls).
Once the SASPAC team have loaded and quality assured this data, System files will be downloadable from the SASPAC website, along with a small software update. We’ll blog as soon as this data is available.

A Happy New year to all SASPAC users and blog followers.
An exciting year of 2011 Census data releases is ahead of us and has already begun with the (delayed) release of Quick Statistics Table QS209EW by ONS yesterday. The table supplements the data for 18 ethnic groups previously released in KS201EW on 11 December and includes details for 91 ethnic groups. In addition, ONS have also provided a commissioned table (CT0010EW) that includes details of the ‘write-in’ responses for the ethnic group question.
Due to the table definition for QS209EW changing from that previously specified by ONS, users interested in accessing this table will need to update a small number of files in v9.75 – please contact the helpdesk for details. SASPAC System files including this table are available to download.
If you are happy to wait, this table will be incorporated as part of the next software release in early February.
