I am trying to accumulate the following data but have found it very difficult to search / filter manually please can you assist me with the following:

  • 2011 & Later: All tables / data that have associated longitude and latitude and are granular at least down to one of: LOCAL OUTPUT AREA: DISTRICT, LOCAL OUTPUT AREA: SECTOR, POSTCODE DISTRICT, and/or POSTCODE SECTOR levels.

  • Categorized by finest granularity.

  • The URLs where they can be obtained.

Thank you for your request.

Although census tables do not include longitude and latitude, the National Statistics Postcode Lookup file, available from the Open Geography Portal does include longitude and latitude for postcodes and Output Areas (OAs).

Census data including the above information can be downloaded from Nomis. Nomis is a service run by Durham University on behalf of the Office for National Statistics.

If you require any assistance with navigating Nomis or the Open Geography Portal, please feel free to contact Census Customer Services directly for guidance. The team can be contacted on the following address: census.customerservices@ons.gov.uk.
