Census 2011 - Table Layouts

Key and Quick Statistics
Revised versions of the table layouts for Key Statistics and Quick Statistics (excel 1.4 Mb) are now available. Users may want to view the outline of table layouts in conjunction with the information provided for each release to provide some context for the type of information that will be published in each release. It is important to note that the decision as to whether some tables are included in final publications will depend on successful disclosure control testing.
