Safeguarded microdata

The safeguarded microdata files consist of random samples of up to 5% of individuals in the 2011 Census output database for Northern Ireland.

Two microdata safeguarded files are available:

  • region level (Northern Ireland)
  • Local Government District level (this is at a lower level of geography and has less detail than the region file)

Access via UK Data Service

The safeguarded samples will be available to download through the UK Data Service from August 2015. Researchers wishing to use the UK Data Service will need to register and accept terms and conditions before accessing and downloading data.

All users must agree to the terms and conditions of the UK Data Service End User Licence before data can be accessed and downloaded.

Find out how to register at the UK Data Service.
