Census results provide a unique and invaluable source of detailed
current and historical information relating to the demographic and
socio-economic characteristics of populations and households within the
UK. They have wide applicability and are used to underpin major
research and decision-making in government, the private and public sectors,
academia and many other spheres of life. The Census Dissemination Unit
at Mimas currently provides services relating to the most widely used
'Aggregate Statistics' component of results from the 1971, 1981
1991 and 2001 censuses.
Services offered include access to, and support for the use of the
Aggregate Statistics datasets together with a variety of derived and
associated datasets such as deprivation scores and lookup tables. Search for content on
all of the JISC services websites
Casweb, the web-based interface to the Aggregate Statistics, was developed
by the CDU at Mimas to extend access to those engaged in short projects,
The data is of interest to those doing local studies (health, housing
etc.), and the web interface is simple to learn and use, requiring little
prior knowledge of the content or structure of Census statistics.
The Census (Casweb) service requires users to register with their
individual Athens username and password.
