Yesterday, NRS published an update to the 2011 Census Outputs Prospectus for Scotland. The key points are:
- Local Authority level five-year age band population estimates (release 1B) are scheduled for release on 21 March, with single year data (release 1C) following in May.
- Key & Quick Statistics tables (release 2) will begin in Summer 2013, Local Characteristics (release 3) in Autumn 2013, and Winter 2013 (release 4) will contain Detailed Characteristics tables.
- Table layouts for Key and Quick Statistics are now available on the NRS website (.xls)
- NRS are keen to hear from users if they should follow ONS/NISRA and change the order of Releases 3 and 4
All the Census outputs relating to releases 2, 3 and 4 will be made available through SASPAC.
