We said

​Thank you for your enquiry.

On 2 November 2022, we published data and supporting commentary about Demography and migration: Census 2021 in England and Wales.

On 29 November 2022, we published data and supporting commentary about Ethnic group, national identity, language and religion: Census 2021 in England and Wales.

Both publications include univariate data (one variable only) down to Output Area (OA) level where possible. Multivariate data will be released in early 2023. You can find more information on our planned publications in our Census 2021 Release plans.

Should you require access to information from previous censuses, data are all freely available on our Nomis webservice.
