This adds nearly 1,500 new indicators to the service, with data available at the geographies it has been published for by ONS:
Country
Region
Upper Tier Local Authority
Lower Tier Local Authority
Middle Layer Super Output Area
Lower Layer Super Output Area
To display the LSOA level data we have added a new core geography to the National Data Service called LSOA 2021.
Although ONS did not publish data at ward level, where possible we have generated values at this level by aggregating values from OA area using a population weighted centroids best fit method.
These new indictors are all located under the Population theme, and organised into subthemes that reflect the census table that they were sourced from. We have retained the structure the data were published in, and have also retained the name of the census table in the theme names and indicator names. This is helpful for users that are familiar with the way the census data is organised and/or the names of the tables.
Under each top level theme in the National Data Service, the old data from Census 2011 have been moved into a subtheme labeled Census 2011, to avoid confusion with the 2021 data.
For customers with a managed Data Observatory website, the data are displayed in the following places:
1) Population Map Explorer (updated 6th Dec 2022)
2) Data Explorer (updated 6th Dec 2022)
3) Upper and lower tier local authority Population reports (updated 7th and 9th Dec 2022)
In January we will be adding data for the further topic summaries that have been released by ONS and updating our ward level reports in addition to the reports at local authority level.

Annual Population Survey
The data for Apr 2021- Mar 2022 was added on 16th of August (out of cycle).
This brand new set of around 140 indicators can be found in the the Population theme, under a Census 2021 subtheme. This dataset combines the first release results for 2021 – available at local authority, region and country level for England and Wales – with the closest equivalent data selected from NOMIS for 2011, 2001 and 1991 to show change over time in the headline data. The population estimates are broken down by sex, broad age group and 5-year age groups.
Note that there may be some differences to the basis on how the values were generated. Note also that this first release data for 2021 gives figures rounded to the nearest 100 – later release will be unrounded and can be expected to show some differences to these figures.
For customers with a managed Data Observatory website, the data are displayed in the following places:
1) Population reports for top and lower tier local authorities (updated 7th July 2022)
2) Population Map Explorer (updated 4th July 2022)
3) Data Explorer (updated 4th July 2022)
We will add further data from Census 2021 to the National Data Service once these have been released. You can read the release plans from ONS for the data here.
