Census Output areas – Part Removed 2011

This dataset shows the 2011 Census Output Areas (OAs) – Part Removed. This dataset contains the polygons which were removed in order to make the OA whole. The area of these polygons is included in the area figure for the 2011 OA.

There were 349 non contiguous census output areas not caused by water. A decision was made to delete one of the polygons to make the OA whole.

This was purely a cosmetic exercise. The part to be removed did not contain the master postcode and in the majority of the cases it was the smaller of the polygons but in a few instances it may have been the large part simply because the smaller part was more dense and master postcode assigned to it.

Revisions and Corrections

Revision to 2011 Output Area codes (13 September 2013)

An anomaly was discovered in the 2011 Census Output Area (OA) codes which were published on 15 August 2013. The anomaly meant that, whilst all the current 2011 Census OA codes were unique, they did not always run in sequential order by council area. We decided to replace the codes with new ones that start at S00088956 and end with S00135306.

Correction to 2011 Output Area boundaries (7 October 2013)

Ten boundaries have been added to the dataset following amendments in line with the cosmetic exercise/spatial improvement described earlier

Statement

This dataset shows the 2011 Census Output Areas (OAs) – Part Removed. This dataset contains the polygons which were removed in order to make the OA whole. The area of these polygons is included in the area figure for the 2011 OA.

Of the OA created 339 are non contiguous because the polygons are separated by other output areas. It was agreed that the parts which did not contain master postcode (in most instances the smaller polygon) would be removed and the area merged with adjoining OA to create a single polygon where possible. This was purely a cosmetic exercise and did not affect census statistics, calculation of the master postcode, the higher area assignment of the area calculation for the OA all of which were based on all of the constituent parts of the OA. A boundary dataset detailing the OA parts which were removed is available together with a lookup file listing the affected postcodes and OAs. The dataset still contains non contiguous OA that are separated by water.
