FOI REF: FOI-2023-1210

You asked

Can you please provide the population of the village Sutton-on-Trent (Newark and Sherwood) from the 2021 census?

We said

Thank you for your freedom of information request. 

In Census terms, villages do not have statutory boundaries. A civil parish is the lowest tier of local government and is often the area people think of as being the village. 

Our Build a custom area profile enables users to create a Census 2021 data profile. We have produced a file from the custom area profile of Sutton on Trent, which is available in the associated download 'Sutton on Trent Map'. Instructions on how to find further data can be found in the associated download 'ONS - Create a Custom Dataset Navigation'.

Please note the data and boundaries displayed in these profiles are aggregated from small areas on a best-fit basis, and therefore may differ slightly from other sources. Values may vary slightly from other published Census 2021 statistics because the "cell-key method" adds a small amount of noise to some cells in published datasets to protect against disclosure by differencing. Our Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC) for 2021 UK Census report sets out the strategies used to lower the risk of disclosure.

In case it is of interest, 2021 Census datasets for Civil Parishes will be released beyond the general phases two and three of our release plans for 2023.

If you have any questions feel free to contact. Census.customerservices@ons.gov.uk who will be more than happy to assist.
