Census 2021 Distance Travelled to Work - Birmingham Wards

Information Table Analyze Export API

The distance, in kilometres, between a person's residential postcode and their workplace postcode measured in a straight line. A distance travelled of 0.1km indicates that the workplace postcode is the same as the residential postcode. Distances over 1200km are treated as invalid, and an imputed or estimated value is added.

"Work mainly at or from home" is made up of those that ticked either the 'Mainly work at or from home' box for the address of workplace question, or the "Work mainly at or from home" box for the method of travel to work question.

"Other" includes no fixed place of work, working on an offshore installation and working outside of the UK.

Distance is calculated as the straight line distance between the enumeration postcode and the workplace postcode.

Coverage

This dataset is focused on the data for Birmingham at Ward level. Also available at LSOA, MSOA and Constituency levels.

About the 2021 Census

The Census takes place every 10 years and gives us a picture of all the people and households in England and Wales.

Protecting personal data

The ONS sometimes need to make changes to data if it is possible to identify individuals. This is known as statistical disclosure control. In Census 2021, they:

  • Swapped records (targeted record swapping), for example, if a household was likely to be identified in datasets because it has unusual characteristics, they swapped the record with a similar one from a nearby small area. Very unusual households could be swapped with one in a nearby local authority.
  • Added small changes to some counts (cell key perturbation), for example, we might change a count of four to a three or a five. This might make small differences between tables depending on how the data are broken down when they applied perturbation.

For more geographies, aggregations or topics see the link in the Reference below. Or, to create a custom dataset with multiple variables use the ONS Create a custom dataset tool.

Population value

The value column represents All usual residents aged 16 years and over in employment the week before the census.

The percentage shown is the value as a percentage of All usual residents aged 16 years and over in employment the week before the census within the given geography.
