Geography – 2001 Census Boundaries

Hierarchy level
dataset Dataset
Statement

The history of creating and maintaining the postcode dataset is contained in the live postcode boundary dataset. Because we built up geographies such as council areas from postcodes we were aware of situations where the NRS council area boundary did not match exactly with the OS BoundaryLine product.

This is the set of postcode boundaries used for 2001 census outputs. The postcode boundaries for census were originally frozen in January 2001 for the purposes of producing census outputs.

The dataset contains 139,045 postcode polygons.
