This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for number of unpaid carers by accomodation type - households by household size in Scotland. ## Provision of unpaid care A person is a provider of unpaid care if they look after or give help or support to family members, friends, neighbours because of long-term physical or mental ill health or disability, or problems related to old age. This does not include any activities as part of paid employment. No distinction is made about whether any care that a person provides is within their own household or outside the household, so no explicit link can be made about whether the care provided is for a person within the household who has poor general health or a long-term health problem or disability. Details of classification can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/metadata/provision-of-unpaid-care/) _The quality assurance report can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/2022-results/scotlands-census-2022-quality-assurance-reports/quality-assurance-report-health-disability-and-unpaid-care/)_ ## Accommodation type The type of accommodation used or available for use by an individual household. Examples include: * the whole of a terraced house * a flat in a purpose-built block of flats * a temporary or mobile structure This variable is derived from question on the household form: __Household question 7: What type of accommodation is this?__ * A whole house or bungalow that is: * detached * semi-detached * terraced (including end-terrace) * A flat, maisonette, or apartment that is: * in a tenement or purpose-built block of flats (including '4-in-a-block') * part of a converted or shared house (including bed-sits) * in a commercial building (for example, in an office building, hotel or over a shop) * A mobile or temporary structure: * a caravan or other mobile or temporary structure Details of classification can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/metadata/accommodation-type/) _The quality assurance report can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/2022-results/scotlands-census-2022-quality-assurance-reports/quality-assurance-report-housing/)_ ## Household A household is defined as: one person living alone, or a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address who share cooking facilities and share a living room or sitting room, or dining area This includes: all sheltered accommodation units in an establishment (irrespective of whether there are other communal facilities), and all people living in caravans on any type of site that is their usual residence; this will include anyone who has no other usual residence elsewhere in the UK A household must contain at least one person whose place of usual residence is at the address. A group of short-term residents living together is not classified as a household, and neither is a group of people at an address where only visitors are staying. _The quality assurance report can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/2022-results/scotlands-census-2022-quality-assurance-reports/quality-assurance-report-unrounded-population-estimates-and-ethnic-group-national-identity-language-and-religion-topic-data/)_

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for Economic activity by living arrangements in Scotland. ## Economic activity Economic activity relates to whether or not a person aged 16 and over was working or looking for work in the week before census. Rather than a simple indicator of whether or not someone was currently in employment, it provides a measure of whether or not a person was an active participant in the labour market. A person's economic activity is derived from their 'activity last week'. This is an indicator of their status or availability for employment - whether employed, unemployed, or their status if not employed and not seeking employment. Additional information included in the economic activity classification is also derived from information about the number of hours a person works and their type of employment - whether employed or self-employed. The census concept of economic activity is compatible with the standard for economic status defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). It is one of a number of definitions used internationally to produce accurate and comparable statistics on employment, unemployment and economic status. Details of classification can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/metadata/economic-activity/) _The quality assurance report can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/2022-results/scotlands-census-2022-quality-assurance-reports/quality-assurance-report-education-labour-market-and-travel-to-work/)_ ## Living arrangements The ‘living arrangements’ classification combines responses to the question on marital and civil partnership status with information about whether or not a person is living in a couple. This classification is only applicable to people in households. Living arrangements differs from marital and civil partnership status because cohabiting takes priority over other categories. For example, if a person is divorced and cohabiting, then in results for living arrangements they are classified as cohabiting. More information on this can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/metadata/living-arrangements/#panel-1) The quality assurance report can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/2022-results/scotlands-census-2022-quality-assurance-reports/quality-assurance-report-demography-and-migration/)

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for Household composition by accommodation type by household size in Scotland. ## Household composition The life stage a person is in based on their age and dependent children. Household composition classifies households according to the relationship between the household members. Households consisting of one family and no other usual residents are classified according to the type of family (married, civil partnership or cohabiting couple family, or lone parent family) and the number of dependent children. Other households are classified by the number of people, the number of dependent children, or whether the household consists only of students or only of people aged 66 (state pension age) and over.

People who ticked “Yes” were asked to describe their trans status (for example, non-binary, trans man, trans woman). Transgender or trans is a term used to describe people whose gender is not the same as the sex they were assigned at birth. This was a voluntary question for people aged 16 and over. ## Age A person's age on Census Day, 20 March 2022.

No determination is made about whether a person was a practising member of a religion. Religion is a voluntary question and 6.2% of the population did not provide a response. Please be aware that when we state percentages these are out of the whole population, not just those that provided a response. Our approach to imputation is also different for voluntary questions. Not stating a religion is considered to be a valid response, so we do not impute a religion for those who responded to the census but did not answer the religion question. However, we do impute religion for those who did not respond at all to the census. 'Not stated’ is one of the values that can be imputed for religion. More information on our edit and imputation method is available on the [Scotland’s Census website](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/about/2022-census/statistical-methodology/edit-and-imputation/).

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for the Religion by Individuals in Scotland. ## Religion This is a person’s current religious denomination or body that they belong to, or if the person does not have a religion, ‘No Religion’. No determination is made about whether a person was a practising member of a religion. Religion is a voluntary question and 6.2% of the population did not provide a response. Please be aware that when we state percentages these are out of the whole population, not just those that provided a response. Our approach to imputation is also different for voluntary questions. Not stating a religion is considered to be a valid response, so we do not impute a religion for those who responded to the census but did not answer the religion question. However, we do impute religion for those who did not respond at all to the census. 'Not stated’ is one of the values that can be imputed for religion. More information on our edit and imputation method is available on the [Scotland’s Census website](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/about/2022-census/statistical-methodology/edit-and-imputation/).

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for Economic activity by ethnic group in Scotland. ## Economic activity Economic activity relates to whether or not a person aged 16 and over was working or looking for work in the week before census. Rather than a simple indicator of whether or not someone was currently in employment, it provides a measure of whether or not a person was an active participant in the labour market. A person's economic activity is derived from their 'activity last week'. This is an indicator of their status or availability for employment - whether employed, unemployed, or their status if not employed and not seeking employment. Additional information included in the economic activity classification is also derived from information about the number of hours a person works and their type of employment - whether employed or self-employed. The census concept of economic activity is compatible with the standard for economic status defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). It is one of a number of definitions used internationally to produce accurate and comparable statistics on employment, unemployment and economic status.

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for Trans Status or History (7 Groups) in Scotland. Scotland’s Census included a new question on trans status or history in 2022. This means there is not comparable data for previous censuses. The question was “Do you consider yourself to be trans, or have a trans history?”. People were asked to tick “No” or “Yes”. People who ticked “Yes” were asked to describe their trans status (for example, non-binary, trans man, trans woman). Transgender or trans is a term used to describe people whose gender is not the same as the sex they were assigned at birth. This was a voluntary question for people aged 16 and over. _The quality assurance report can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/2022-results/scotlands-census-2022-quality-assurance-reports/quality-assurance-report-sexual-orientation-and-trans-status-or-history/)_

Rather than a simple indicator of whether or not someone was currently in employment, it provides a measure of whether or not a person was an active participant in the labour market. A person's economic activity is derived from their 'activity last week'. This is an indicator of their status or availability for employment - whether employed, unemployed, or their status if not employed and not seeking employment. Additional information included in the economic activity classification is also derived from information about the number of hours a person works and their type of employment - whether employed or self-employed. The census concept of economic activity is compatible with the standard for economic status defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). It is one of a number of definitions used internationally to produce accurate and comparable statistics on employment, unemployment and economic status.

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for Trans Status or History (3 Groups) in Scotland. ## Transgender Scotland’s Census included a new question on trans status or history in 2022. This means there is not comparable data for previous censuses. The question was “Do you consider yourself to be trans, or have a trans history?”. People were asked to tick “No” or “Yes”. People who ticked “Yes” were asked to describe their trans status (for example, non-binary, trans man, trans woman). Transgender or trans is a term used to describe people whose gender is not the same as the sex they were assigned at birth. This was a voluntary question for people aged 16 and over. _The quality assurance report can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/2022-results/scotlands-census-2022-quality-assurance-reports/quality-assurance-report-sexual-orientation-and-trans-status-or-history/)_

Guidance on answering the question can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/documents/scotland-s-census-2022-sex-question-guidance/html/) ## Religion This is a person’s current religious denomination or body that they belong to, or if the person does not have a religion, ‘No Religion’. No determination is made about whether a person was a practising member of a religion. Religion is a voluntary question and 6.2% of the population did not provide a response. Please be aware that when we state percentages these are out of the whole population, not just those that provided a response. Our approach to imputation is also different for voluntary questions. Not stating a religion is considered to be a valid response, so we do not impute a religion for those who responded to the census but did not answer the religion question. However, we do impute religion for those who did not respond at all to the census. 'Not stated’ is one of the values that can be imputed for religion. More information on our edit and imputation method is available on the [Scotland’s Census website](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/about/2022-census/statistical-methodology/edit-and-imputation/).

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for ethnic group by age of arrival in UK in Scotland. ## Ethnic group Ethnic group classifies people according to their own perceived ethnic group and cultural background. Whilst the main ethnic group categories have not changed from the question asked in Census 2011, some of the detailed response options and write-in prompts for Scotland's Census 2022 were changed based on stakeholder engagement and subsequent question testing.

Short visits away from the UK are not counted in determining the date that a person last arrived. Age of arrival is only applicable to usual residents who were not born in the UK. It does not include usual residents born in the UK who have emigrated and since returned.

No determination is made about whether a person was a practising member of a religion. Religion is a voluntary question and 6.2% of the population did not provide a response. Please be aware that when we state percentages these are out of the whole population, not just those that provided a response. Our approach to imputation is also different for voluntary questions. Not stating a religion is considered to be a valid response, so we do not impute a religion for those who responded to the census but did not answer the religion question. However, we do impute religion for those who did not respond at all to the census. 'Not stated’ is one of the values that can be imputed for religion.

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for Household composition by ethnic group of household reference person in Scotland. ## Household composition The life stage a person is in based on their age and dependent children. Household composition classifies households according to the relationship between the household members. Households consisting of one family and no other usual residents are classified according to the type of family (married, civil partnership or cohabiting couple family, or lone parent family) and the number of dependent children. Other households are classified by the number of people, the number of dependent children, or whether the household consists only of students or only of people aged 66 (state pension age) and over.

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for occupancy rating by accomodation type - households by household size in Scotland. ## Occupancy rating This variable calculates the difference between the actual number of bedrooms and the required number of bedrooms for the household. The number of bedrooms required in each household is calculated using the bedroom standard which was introduced in the Housing (Overcrowding) Bill 46 (2003) The bedroom standard indicates that for each household, each of the following groups or individuals requires a separate bedroom: * any couple * any person aged 21 years or more * two people of the same sex aged between 10 and 20 * two children (whether of the same sex or not) under 10 years * two people of the same sex where one person is aged between 10 years and 20 years and the other is aged less than 10 years * any further person who cannot be paired appropriately. An occupancy rating of -1 implies that a household has one fewer bedroom than required, whereas +1 implies that they have one more bedroom than required. ## Accommodation type The type of accommodation used or available for use by an individual household. Examples include: * the whole of a terraced house * a flat in a purpose-built block of flats * a temporary or mobile structure This variable is derived from question on the household form: __Household question 7: What type of accommodation is this?__ * A whole house or bungalow that is: * detached * semi-detached * terraced (including end-terrace) * A flat, maisonette, or apartment that is: * in a tenement or purpose-built block of flats (including '4-in-a-block') * part of a converted or shared house (including bed-sits) * in a commercial building (for example, in an office building, hotel or over a shop) * A mobile or temporary structure: * a caravan or other mobile or temporary structure Details of classification can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/metadata/accommodation-type/) _The quality assurance report can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/2022-results/scotlands-census-2022-quality-assurance-reports/quality-assurance-report-housing/)_ ## Household A household is defined as: one person living alone, or a group of people (not necessarily related) living at the same address who share cooking facilities and share a living room or sitting room, or dining area This includes: all sheltered accommodation units in an establishment (irrespective of whether there are other communal facilities), and all people living in caravans on any type of site that is their usual residence; this will include anyone who has no other usual residence elsewhere in the UK A household must contain at least one person whose place of usual residence is at the address.

National Records of Scotland (NRS) is a Non-Ministerial Department of the Scottish Government. The purpose is to collect, preserve and produce information about Scotland's people and history and make it available to inform current and future generations. NRS were established on 1 April 2011, following the merger of the General Register Office for Scotland (GROS) and the National Archives of Scotland (NAS). For administrative purposes the NRS sit within the Scottish Government’s Constitution and External Affairs portfolio.
This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for Economic activity by general health by disability in Scotland. ## Economic activity Economic activity relates to whether or not a person aged 16 and over was working or looking for work in the week before census. Rather than a simple indicator of whether or not someone was currently in employment, it provides a measure of whether or not a person was an active participant in the labour market. A person's economic activity is derived from their 'activity last week'. This is an indicator of their status or availability for employment - whether employed, unemployed, or their status if not employed and not seeking employment. Additional information included in the economic activity classification is also derived from information about the number of hours a person works and their type of employment - whether employed or self-employed. The census concept of economic activity is compatible with the standard for economic status defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO). It is one of a number of definitions used internationally to produce accurate and comparable statistics on employment, unemployment and economic status.

This includes problems that are related to old age. Respondents were asked to assess whether their daily activities were limited a lot or a little by such a health problem, or whether their daily activities were not limited at all. Long-term illness is a strong predictor for higher use of health service resources. This information is used by central government for resource allocation and by local government for service provision. It enables public bodies to meet statutory requirements and to develop and monitor policies to allocate health funding and services at a national and local level.

Guidance on answering the question can be found [here](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/documents/scotland-s-census-2022-sex-question-guidance/html/) ## Religion This is a person’s current religious denomination or body that they belong to, or if the person does not have a religion, ‘No Religion’. No determination is made about whether a person was a practising member of a religion. Religion is a voluntary question and 6.2% of the population did not provide a response. Please be aware that when we state percentages these are out of the whole population, not just those that provided a response. Our approach to imputation is also different for voluntary questions. Not stating a religion is considered to be a valid response, so we do not impute a religion for those who responded to the census but did not answer the religion question. However, we do impute religion for those who did not respond at all to the census. 'Not stated’ is one of the values that can be imputed for religion. More information on our edit and imputation method is available on the [Scotland’s Census website](https://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/about/2022-census/statistical-methodology/edit-and-imputation/).

This dataset provides Census 2022 estimates for Trans Status or History (7 Groups) by Age (15 Groups) in Scotland. ## Transgender Scotland’s Census included a new question on trans status or history in 2022.

Transgender or trans is a term used to describe people whose gender is not the same as the sex they were assigned at birth. This was a voluntary question for people aged 16 and over. ## Age A person's age on Census Day, 20 March 2022.
