This is a unique innovation for official statistics and will allow users to look for interactions between topics which are important to them as well as to build their own Census 2021 datasets.
To use the tool, simply select a population to get started. From there, you can change the geography of your dataset and filter the data by sex and age, and add as many variables as you want. You can also access pre-built flexible datasets, which you can customise with additional variables.
Today's release marks the start of a new phase of Census 2021 outputs, and it is just one of the products coming this year to help you find the data you need. You can find out more about upcoming new ways to access Census 2021 data in this blog on the National Statistical website.
Helping you get started
To help you understand and make best use of the ‘create a custom dataset’ tool, we are hosting a number of webinars and have a brief animated video.
Online events:
Wednesday 29 March, 11am-12pm: Introduction to the flexible table builder
Thursday 30 March, 11am-12pm: Deep dive to the flexible table builder
Protecting confidentiality and what’s coming next
Our commitment to protecting the confidentiality of Census data means that we can't provide the full detail of the Census through this tool. Other products, including all our topic summaries and analytical articles already published may provide the information you need.
For some smaller or more dispersed groups the table builder is not the best way to explore the data. For this reason, we will also be releasing pre-defined multivariate tables in the coming days and weeks to provide the greatest level of detail we can while still protecting confidentiality. These will allow you to choose and change the area type, coverage and variables for Census 2021 data and will cover dwellings, families and sexual orientation and gender identity.
