Census

When is data expected to be available from Scotland's Census 2022?

The latest information for when the Census data will be available:
  • Second half of 2023 (realistically November/December) - First census outputs – rounded population estimates (nearest 100) by local authority and age group (5-year age bands).
  • First half of 2024 - Unrounded population estimates by single year of age and sex, and unrounded household counts by household size down to output area (Output areas contain at least 50 people and 20 households).
  • Second half of 2024 and first half of 2025 - remaining Census data released by theme.
National Records of Scotland are clear to highlight that these current timings are provisional and are subject to change.
