- Statement
- Census data from the Office of National Statistics have been downloaded as CSV files. Land Cover Map 2015 vector data has been obtained from CEH. Output Area geography data (Extent of the Realm), were obtained for England & Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. The processing steps are detailed in the Supporting Documentation. To ensure consistency of the final product, total population numbers were compared, at each processing step, with the official 2011 Census totals. In particular due to the clipping process, which merges data on different geographies, areas where population data are provided on administrative boundaries and areas which contain urban, suburban and urban industrial land use parcels, some inconsistencies are inevitable. In addition, the Land Cover Map has been generated in 2015 (with satellite data compiled prior to the release, whereas Census data was obtained in 2011. In the period in between, changes in residential areas will have emerged, which result in different urban or suburban land use data in LCM 2015 compared to the 2011 census (e.g. newly developed residential areas). While there is a difference between residential and workday populations in the Census dataset of 0.107%, the same population figure has been assumed for scaling. As a result, the final output file is consistent with the Census total population for the UK in 2011 within 0.0012% for residential and 0.0005% for workday populations respectively.
