Output Prospectus

Population Censuses were held in Northern Ireland, England and Wales and Scotland on 29 April 2001. In Northern Ireland the Census was carried out by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency. This prospectus describes how and when the Northern Ireland results will be released.

The Census is a count of all people and households in Northern Ireland. It provides essential statistical information, informing the planning and funding of public services, including health, education and transport. Results also support research and business. Information will be available from the Northern Ireland level down to small geographical areas.

This prospectus covers the scope and phasing of the results. There are links to supplementary information ranging from the geographical base of the Census to detailed outlines of tables. It will be updated regularly and in time will become a catalogue with links to actual results.

The Output Prospectus is available in PDF format.  To read PDF files you will need a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or greater.  This can be downloaded free of charge from the Adobe web site.
